SKA have purchased the rights of a number of Atlant players

During this recently completed KHL season, HC Atlant Mytishchi had been going through financial troubles. HC Atlant and HC SKA came together earlier on in the campaign in order to help the former play on until the end of the season, and now that all games have been played, and in order with the in place agreement with the league, a number of Atlant players have had their rights changed to SKA.

In doing so the KHL has maintained its integrity, and the deal that has now seen a large number of Atlant players' rights changed to SKA allowed Atlant to complete the recent KHL season.
