Sports cast: Kärpät and Tappara in pursuit of a super reinforcement
Kärpät and Tappara are looking for one more star-category forward name for their Liiga rosters next season, claims Urheilucast,
Of the two, Kärpät needs a new top center after Aku Räty signed a one-year contract with the Edmonton Oilers in the NHL.
– According to UC, Kärpät has approached player agents with the information that they have a budget of as much as 375,000 euros available for finding a top forward after Räty’s departure to the NHL, podcast host Esko Seppänen reports.
According to Seppänen, Tappara has also cast its nets to secure a new top forward. This may well signal the departure of last season’s points leader Benjamin Rautiaisen to North America next season.
– Tappara has quietly started the search for an absolute top forward. Not looking for a third or fourth line player, but rather top players from the entire Liiga category are now being sought, Seppänen continues.
From the two major clubs, Kärpät confirmed its defense on Wednesday with two top-level Liiga names, securing the powerful defensemen Aleksi Matinmikko and Kalle Loponen from last season’s finalists.
