According to Marco Maffioletti (La Regione), Sven Andrighetto has signed a two-year deal with Omsk. Talk about him joining the KHL team has been around since April 2019, when KHL insider Igor Eronko (sport-express.ru) first reported that Omsk had taken an interest in the Swiss forward.

Two weeks ago, the same journalist tweeted that the KHL team offered Andrighetto a contract worth CHF 1.4 million (90 million rubles). However, he also said at the time that Andrighetto would likely stay in North America.
