Two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov appreciated the transfer policy “Tractors” in the off season.
Chelyabinsk team signed forwards this summer Alexandra Kadeïkina , Alexei Lipanova , Andrei Svetlakov And Dylana Sikuru .
— I don’t know much about Alexei Lipanov, since he hasn’t managed to make it to the championship yet. Time will tell how much he can help the team. Dylan Sikura is a potentially strong and interesting player. He was drafted and played in the NHL club system. Not all American players can prove themselves. I think this guy can prove himself. There is the example of Lukas Sedlak, who didn’t spend much time in the NHL. But in Chelyabinsk he became the team leader. At the last World Championship, Traktor fans followed him.
Kadeikin and Svetlakov have been in the league for a long time, they have already tried for awards. They will take on the roles assigned to them. Kadeikin played for the Russian national team and was the team captain. Andrey Svetlakov won three Gagarin Cups. There is championship experience, the standards are the highest. His performance will depend on how quickly he can adapt to Chelyabinsk and the demands of the head coach. Let’s see in what combinations the guys will play, RB Sport quoted Konkov as saying.
The new KHL season starts on September 3.
