Double winner of the Gagarin Cup in Moscow “Dynamo » Sergei Konkov talked about the transition forward Nikolai Prokhorkin V “Siberia noting that this is an opportunity for a hockey player to relaunch his career.
The contract with the 29-year-old striker is for one season.
– Obviously, the SKA, unloading the wage bill to pass under the ceiling, was forced to make exchanges. So the turn came to Prokhorkin. It should be noted that Nikolai had a high injury rate and a big contract last year. I think the SKA management understood the risks associated with his continued presence in the team. That’s why there was such an exchange in Sochi, and then a termination.
It is clear that the passage in Siberia is a chance to relaunch a career, to shake up, to restart. The gamers side apparently found the most interesting option. The Novosibirsk team is battle-ready, ambitious, and with new coach Nemirovsky, the team will perform in the new arena.
I note that Prokhorkin played with Nemirovsky at CSKA, of course this is a plus for both parties. It is important that each player feels confident when changing teams in order to gain momentum and return to their previous level. We are well aware that Nikolai is a player with the potential to play in the Russian national team, even in the NHL, but for some reason he could not constantly play at a high level. Therefore, we expect a brilliant match from Prokhorkin, victories and goals, – quotes Metaratings.ru Konkov.
Previously, Prokhorkin played for Avangard Omsk, Metallurg Magnitogorsk, Salavat Yulaev Ufa, CSKA Moscow, SKA Petersburg and Los Angeles Kings. In total, he has 506 games and 283 points (135+148) in the KHL.
Prokhorkin is the winner of the Gagarin Cup and the 2018 Olympic champion.
