Former defenseman for several KHL clubs Nikita Shields in a conversation with , he suggested that the newcomer”Ak Barca ” Before Yevgeny Svechnikov will play on the same line with Alexander Radulov .
Ak Bars announced on Friday the signing of a two-year contract with Svechnikov, 26. The forward was selected by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2015 NHL Draft, 19th overall. The Russian also played for the Winnipeg Jets and the San Jose Sharks, played in 172 league games and scored 45 points (20 goals and 25 assists).
– Ak Bars coaching staff has a vision – where Svechnikov will play. Perhaps in connection with Radulov. In any case, it’s a good boost. It’s great to have a great player back in our league. Ak Bars management is setting a great example for other teams by signing brilliant star players.
I’m sure fans across the country will follow Kazan closely. In the cities where the Ak Bars will come, full halls will gather. This team has a lot of masters which are not so many in our league. It’s great that Ak Bars is improving our hockey.
Many have a lot to learn from Kazan. I want to highlight Danis Zaripov’s recent farewell game. It was an amazing event with excellent organization. It’s the norm to see players who have done a lot for national hockey. Kazan created a powerful trend. We still have a lot of players who deserve such matches: Pavel Datsyuk, Sergey Mozyakin, Vasily Koshechkin. I think the KHL should contribute to that as well,” Schitov told .
