A large number of star hockey players on the roster cannot be a problem for St. Petersburg SKA said the two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup Alexei Potapov .
Last offseason, players like Evgeny Kuznetsov, Nikita Zaitsev, Mikhail Grigorenko, Sergei Plotnikov and Sergei Andronov joined SKA.
— Do you agree with other experts that the main problem of SKA is recruiting? Grigorenko and Tolchinsky are forced to play on the fourth line.
— It is difficult to remember a year when the fifth-sixth line of SKA was not as famous as it is today. At all times, the team had the fiercest competition, a huge number of stars and talents. I do not think this is a problem. Offer this to any club – that Tolchinsky plays in your fourth line – and everyone will agree. On the other hand, is Sergei himself happy to find himself in such a situation? I think it is a joy to have the opportunity to retain so many players, so many skills. All that remains is to optimize all this and use these guys for their intended purposes, “Potapov told RB Sport.
Currently, SKA occupies the fifth place in the KHL Western Conference with 7 points. The team’s next match will take place against Torpedo on September 21.
