KHL President Alexei Morozov said there were many top defenders in the league, noting he had no personal sympathy.
— We have a lot of good defensive players, but I don’t have any personal sympathy. Defender (S.K.A. ) Alexander Nikishin one of the best in the KHL. Last season, he became the best defender-scorer. I would also quote Andrey Pedan (SKA), last season he was number one in the KHL in terms of utility.
Lots of good guys who need to open up. I wish Alexander Nikishin to prove his worth in the new 2023/24 season. So we also greatly appreciate his game and his achievements,” Morozov told Legalbet.
Nikishin played 65 games last KHL regular season and scored 55 points (11+44). Pedan scored 20 points (5+15) in 65 regular season games with a +32 utility rating.
The new KHL season will kick off on September 1 with the Cup opener between CSKA and Ak Bars. Watch the live broadcast of the KHL regular season game on the channel at 6:00 p.m. (Moscow time).
