Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov called the defender a talented person “Vancouver » Nikita Zadorova .
The defenseman played his first game with the Canucks on Sunday in a 4-3 loss to his former team, Calgary, and scored an assist against Elias Pettersson.
— A person draws conclusions. Every year a person becomes more and more mature. God grant that he becomes an adult and normal. I can give you many examples where people talk a lot, but their game doesn’t go well. And when they finish talking, everything goes well. This isn’t just about Zadorov. Yes, it’s character. Without character, hockey is difficult. Let’s see what happens next. God grant that everything goes well. A talented person in his own right. It would be a shame if something didn’t work out for him. If I understand correctly, he doesn’t want to come back here. So there, we must change and obey where we are. And you are already creating an image for yourself. There it spreads in two seconds,” Kozhevnikov said, as quoted by Championship.
On Friday, the Flames announced the trade of Zadorov, 28, to Vancouver. This season in the NHL, the Russian played 22 games and scored 7 (1+6) points.
Vancouver is in second place in the Western Conference standings with 33 points.
