For some members of the hockey community, coaching is an inevitable destiny—a calling that runs through their veins perhaps even before a playing career has concluded. Metal-lurg Magnitogorsk bench boss Ilya Vorobyov is one such example, the son of a longtime KHL and National Team coach who absorbed his father’s training principles long before he ruled a bench of his own.

Spartak has agreed a one-year contract with defenseman Andrei Kuteikin (1984), who spent the 2017-18 campaign with Dynamo Moscow and is a veteran of every season in the KHL.

Former Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks, and Calgary Flames forward Linden Vey (1991) has departed Barys Astana and agreed a two-year contract with CSKA. The 26-year-old Canadian was the Astana team's top assistant last season, providing the passes for 35 goals.
