During the offseason, Nikita Zaitsev, Sergei Plotnikov, Mikhail Grigorenko, Evgeniy Kuznetsov and other famous hockey players joined the SKA team.

– Listen, any team has a goal to win, to become the best in the season and win the Gagarin Cup. And Dynamo is certainly no exception here. The fact that we saved Nikita Gusev is very cool. He is not only the star of our team, but of the entire league. He will honor the KHL, we are very grateful for this decision.
— But if we talk about SKA, hasn’t the KHL championship become closer to the football championship this summer, where Zenit alone dominates?
— Guys, this is all just on paper, we’ll see what happens in the season. God grant that all teams that make plans succeed. But unfortunately, there can be only one champion. And sometimes it happens that way, something that on paper does not work out in life. Only in May next year will we understand who got this boost and who did not. Fortunately, life often throws up surprises, ”Sushko told the correspondent.
