Predicting the factors that could assist and those that may impede the progress of the Hawks.

The Omsk Wings, traditionally serving as a farm team for Avangard, are undergoing a significant transformation this season. The aim is not just to support Avangard, but to make a name for themselves as a separate franchise, with a focus on winning in the VHL.

In a friendly match, one of the promising young players, Poturalski, showcased his dribbling skills, leaving fans in awe. The list of young talents under 25 who could potentially move up to Avangard includes Alexei Egorov, Artem Kulikovsky, Denis Malov, Egor Stepanov, Denis Pochivalov, and Kirill Tankov.

Guy Boucher, the coach, has praised Poturalski for his versatility and ability to adapt to the team's needs. The coach also emphasizes that every game is important and should be given maximum effort.

Avangard has made substantial investments this season, with contract terminations, new signings, team parties, uniform updates, and restructuring the farm team. The team's roster is almost complete, with a decision pending on MacLaund.

Nikita Serebryakov, a 'franchise player' for Avangard, has earned a five-year contract with the 'Youth Wings', further strengthening the team's lineup.

The regular season consists of 68 games, followed by playoffs that will wrap up in late May. The team will play until March 19 without a break for the Olympics. The goal for the season is clear: they are aiming to be the clear favorite in the KHL season.

The KHL season for Avangard begins tonight against 'Ak Bars'. In a recent friendly match against SKA in St. Petersburg, Poturalski scored 2+1, demonstrating his potential to continue impressing fans with his performances.

However, Andrei Mishurov, the second goalie, did not show confident play in the Blinov Cup, and Sergei Dolgov, the third goalie, will have to fight for every opportunity to establish himself in Omsk.

The success of Avangard this season is crucial, as failure could significantly impact the future of all Omsk hockey.

Guy Boucher predicts that Poturalski will continue to impress fans with his performances, and Poturalski's success this season is a clear indication that he is living up to expectations. In contrast, Joshua Livo, who now plays for 'Traktor', had a more successful season in the AHL last year.

The goals for the season are high for the main team, the farm team, and the juniors. The team's ambition is evident, and they are determined to make a mark in the KHL this season.
