Former Omsk "Avangard" forward Spuner's next career destination has been revealed
In the world of KHL hockey, there's buzz surrounding a potential move for Canadian forward Ryan Spooner. The Beijing club, Kunlun Red Star, is reportedly considering Spooner for a transfer from the Shanghai Dragons, where he is currently listed for the 2025-2026 season.
Last season, Spooner shone brightly with the Omsk team, scoring an impressive 10 goals and providing 32 assists in 67 games. This form earned him a total of 42 points, a significant contribution to his team's offensive efforts.
Interestingly, Spooner has a history with Kunlun Red Star, having played for the club from 2020 to 2025. However, the team failed to make the playoffs during his tenure.
The specifics about Spooner's potential move to Kunlun Red Star are yet to be revealed. Similarly, there's no information available about other potential newcomers to the club at this time.
It's also worth noting that Croatian forward Borna Rendulic, previously of Magnitogorsk's "Metallurg", and Nikita Popugayev, who played for Tolyatti's "Lada", are also being considered by Kunlun Red Star.
The news of these potential transfers is reported by "Championship". However, the current clubs of Spooner, Rendulic, and Popugayev are not mentioned in the report.
A former Russian national team forward is quoted as saying, "His return to Omsk would be a strengthening," but the specific team and player in question remain unclear. The quote does not provide any new information about Spooner's statistics or the terms of his potential move.
As the KHL season approaches, fans eagerly await more details about these potential transfers and the strengthening of the Kunlun Red Star lineup. Stay tuned for updates!
