Compound SKA is 99% complete, but a defender could join the team before the start of the season, St. Petersburg head coach said Romain Rotenberg .
On Friday, SKA is holding an open day in Novogorsk.
— Should we expect new arrivals?
— We always try to do everything possible to form the strongest team. The ice will show everything. Now the team is 99% ready. Probably, maybe a defender.
“We did not refuse Barabanov. Maybe he will come back to us. We have already worked with him. Wait and see. We are communicating with the team about the captain. We have Nikishin, a worthy hockey player who leads the team. We still have a lot of work to do before the first official KHL match,” a correspondent reports, citing Rotenberg’s words.
SKA will open the season on September 5 with an away match against Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
