Negotiations with potential new arrivals CSKA were not easy, said the president of the military club Igor Esmantovich .
This offseason, the military club signed contracts with goalkeeper Ivan Prosvetov, defenders Nikita Okhotyuk, Dmitry Samorukov, Christian Yarosh, forwards Ruslan Iskhakov, Ivan Drozdov, Denis Guryanov, Egor Afanasyev.
— Negotiations with the guys were difficult. Prosvetov was paired with CSKA for two years – he came. Samorukova also has two years – he came. [Руслана] They tried to take Iskhakov in mid-December, but the New York Islanders didn’t cooperate. Trust me, getting six proven hockey players at the peak of their potential in one year is worth a lot.
“I would like the god of sport to smile on us again with our fans and help us win the next Gagarin Cup,” the correspondent reports, reporting Esmantovich’s words.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
