KHL Trades, Rumors and Free Agent Talk Part 3

[m4tt145]

Sochi releases Zinovyev and Proshkin.

Why?

 

[Peter25]

Why?

Too expensive for their age and current level I would guess.

Then why did they sign them in the first place?

Then why did they sign them in the first place?

I guess they estimated their budget to be bigger than it actually is.

In even stranger news, Yugra trades one of better Ds of his generation in Kiril Dyakov for some no namer (to me, at least) Daniil Stalnov for whatever the reason. Good addition for Torpedo.

Now it's clear, Yugra acquires Andrei Sergeyev from SKA. So they have basically traded a young left-handed D for a bit better and a bit older right-handed D which definitely makes sense now, is definitely an upgrade and once again, good job by Yugra management. Really hope their are rewarded at the end of regular season for all the work they are doing now.

Vityaz goes traditional and gives a couple of rough housing Dmen a tryout -Lysenko, Tulupov

 

[m4tt145]

Veli-Matti Savinainen --> Leksand (SHL)

Veli-Matti Savinainen --> Leksand (SHL)

Claywoman could very well be a good goalscorer in SHL. Good signing.

 

[GX]

Linus Videll - Severstal -> Riga

Arvīds Reķis, Jānis Ozoliņš, Artūrs Ozoliņš - Riga -> released

 

[Bojovnik]

I can't believe that Janis Ozolins would even get a tryout at Dinamo. The guy was playing British second division not too long ago...

 

[cska78]

Rekis? Interesting...

 

[GX]

Rekis? Interesting...

He has a rather serious injury (missed the whole pre-season), and it is suspected he might eventually move back to DEL.

 

[Finnpin]

Veli-Matti Savinainen --> Leksand (SHL)

His KHL clause have done some confusion in SHL.

 

[QnebO]

Do teams trade alot during season in KHL?

It's only preseason, but Jokerit has alot of players and I wouldn't be surprised to see some one moved in some situation.

For example if Harju didin't improve at all. <-- No source, pure speculation here.

Usually teams want players with value and Harju is not one of them. I see him returning to SHL rather than going to other KHL team.

Well, true that, if he continues like this. But I think he should be able to bring something on this level because Jokerit chose him.. and most of all, I hope it really is so. He might be only clear miss pick of the organization this summer, in the other hand.

 

[m4tt145]

Yes, though the contract was re-made, so there is no KHL clause in his current contract, he'll probably stay this season it seems.

 

[Jakk123]

Mojzis and Bakos released from Slovan, Handzus could be coming, depends on if he gets a contract in NHL or not.

 

[cska78]

Ezhov -> Lada

 

[Exarz]

Ezhov -> Lada

Didn't see that coming!

After they got ivannikov someone had to go

True, and Ivannikov is still too good to be a backup..

 

[cska78]

He will still be a back up to salak, they also got shestyorkin!!!!! They released: shikin, nalimov and ezhov this year as well, lol!!!$$$

 

[thoves]

Easy question.. Which teams are "missing" a player now? For example, Riga is in need of a Center.

In general, I'm liking what Yugra has done on the market. Who do you think are the winners/losers on this years market?

Winner: Yugra
Loser: Riga/Zagreb

 

[maxim84]

I agree about Medvescak but think they lost in the staff department more than player roster... Individually players are better or equal as last year, just need to adjust and find chemistry...but Mark French leaving was a major blow
