SKA could make an exchange with Magnitogorsk “Metallurgist” and strengthen the team with a goalkeeper Ilya Nabokov Such an agreement seems the most correct and attractive, says Alexei Potapov, two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup.
Andrei Razin’s team is in last place in the Eastern Conference standings with two points. SKA (7 points) is fifth in the West.
— Should Metallurg make a trade with SKA?
— Now the SKA team has the greatest potential. Players of such a high level as Sergei Tolchinsky and Mikhail Vorobyov play on the fourth line and do not get as much playing time as that year. And the coaching staff is not entirely satisfied with its performance. It seems to me that no other club has such an overabundance of forwards as SKA. If a team needs to strengthen its goalkeeping line, then an exchange with Metallurg seems to me the most attractive and correct.
— SKA could ask Ilya Nabokov.
— Yes, he is currently the most valuable asset in Magnitogorsk. If the clubs are ready to do it, why not? I think everyone will be happy with this exchange.
— Who will be the main guardian of the Metallurg in this case?
— SKA can exchange, for example, not only Sergei Tolchinsky, but also goalkeeper Nikita Serebryakov. Or include three players in one exchange. To use the strengths of hockey players like Tolchinsky and Grigorenko, something will have to be done. If the situation does not change in the near future, Potapov told RB Sport.
In the next match, Metallurg will host Neftekhimik on September 21. SKA will play against Torpedo on the same day.
