SKA: Roman Rotenberg’s position has been threatened.

Since the beginning of the season in the KHL, Ivan Demidov has not been playing regularly.

Roman Rotenberg has stubbornly limited the playing time of the Canadiens’ prospect, and his decisions have sparked talk all the way to Montreal.

It’s only natural, because everyone wants to see what Demidov has to offer ahead of his arrival in the NHL.

The SKA would be participating in the playoffs if the KHL playoff tournament started tonight, but that doesn’t mean everything is rosy within the organization.

Not at all, in fact.

There are rumors circulating right now about Rotenberg possibly leaving his position as head coach of the team. His position has been somewhat threatened, but it seems that the chances of him leaving are slim at the moment.

It’s still interesting though.

In Saint Petersburg, there is pressure.

The SKA has been one of the best teams in the league for several years, and there are always high expectations, season after season.

This can become intense over time, especially if the team does not meet those expectations.

That said, even though the SKA is currently in a playoff position… The club is also in 7th place in its division, which is somewhat disappointing.

It’s understood that the team has had to cope without Evgeny Kuznetsov (injury) for a while, and now, it has lost the services of Tony DeAngelo for the rest of the season.

Adding to all this is the fact that Rotenberg is being criticized for his choices regarding Ivan Demidov… And it creates quite a circus.

Things must be moving quickly in Rotenberg’s mind. The head coach of SKA needs to find a solution to lead his team through to the end… And he will have to do so without DeAngelo, who was one of the best offensive defensemen in the KHL.

Maybe giving more playing time to the team’s 3rd leading scorer Ivan Demidov could help?

I’m just asking the question for fun…

In brief

– Meh…

– Well done. Wow!
