Famous hockey pundit and official Leonid Weisfeld doubts the best marksman of the 2020/21 KHL season Dmitry Yashkin will return from the NHL in Russia.
“Personally, I’m not at all sure about Yashkin’s return to Russia,” Weisfeld said. On the contrary, I strongly doubt it. After all, Dmitry has Czech citizenship. And the Czech Republic and Finland are now the craziest countries compared to us. At least in the world of hockey. And if Yashkin decides to continue his career in Russia, he may have problems. Moreover, not only in the national team or the hockey federation, but in general in the Czech Republic. Now, if we only talk about hockey, without politics, then, of course, he will be able to spend the next season in the KHL.
– Is Ak Bars the most likely option to choose Yashkin?
“For me, this is the most incredible option. It’s clear that Dmitry is a good striker and would be useful to Oleg Znarok’s team. But there are KHL rules and you have to follow them. As I understand it, Ak Bars just doesn’t have room under the cap for another big deal with a former NHL player.
