Moscow CEODynamo Anatoly Kharchuk tells that the White-Blues’ youngsters will just hit the top when it comes to a potential KHL return Alexandra Ovechkina .
Dynamo Moscow completed their performance in the Gagarin Cup on Sunday, losing in the first-round series tiebreaker to Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo. Les Bleu et Blanc lost the series 2–4.
– Leaving for the NHL, Alexander Ovechkin promised to return and finish his career in his native Dynamo. Is the club preparing for it? It’s not only about money, but also about preparing a team that will fight for the championship.
“So we are already preparing it right now. The Dynamo now have exactly the age potential that will peak when Sasha’s NHL contract expires. Whereas at that time he had worthy partners. So far we have a very young team. And I have my own understanding of who a young player is. I haven’t seen a single set of criteria anywhere. Now, if a 22-year-old has played three full seasons in the KHL, can he be called a youth?
– If you are talking about Rashevsky, then Dmitry is undoubtedly already experienced.
– Not only about Rashevsky, there are many such players in the KHL. Therefore, here it is necessary to take into account not only the age, but also the number of matches for the main team, for the national team, etc. There is a whole range of indicators. Sasha Ovechkin has been playing for the main team since she was 17 years old. And that at 20 someone considered him young?
Alexander Ovechkin’s current contract with Washington runs until the end of the 2025/26 season.
