Athletistic / Hockey Finnish defender Mikko Lehtonen has commented on his departure from SKA Saint Petersburg.

“I think it would be a mistake to stay in St. Petersburg now. Therefore, I decided to leave, as many other legionnaires did,” Lehtonen said as quoted by Iltalehti.

Also, the agent of the hockey player Mika Rautakallio said that the player has an agreement with the club from St. Petersburg, according to which if the player plays until the end of the season, SKA will terminate the contract with him .

Recall that in addition to Lehtonen, four other legionnaires have left the SKA: Leo Komarov, Matt Robinson, Lars Johansson and Joonas Kemppainen.
