Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov talked about the exchange of the Russian defender Nikita Zadorov Since “Calgary” V “Vancouver” .
On Friday, the Flames announced the trade of Zadorov, 28, to Vancouver. The defenseman played his first game with the Canucks on Sunday, facing his former team and scoring an assist on Elias Pettersson.
—Zadorov? He wasn’t traded to Vancouver – say that correctly! He himself asked to leave Calgary for Vancouver. God grant that it benefits him. There you have to look for reasons within yourself. I’m not satisfied with the team, with anyone, with anything. I think Vancouver will calm down. They’ll fix it there anyway. Will our guys help him calm down? Well, God grant (laughs) they help! I don’t know what kind of speech this is. Will he take it calmly… He is used to communicating with foreigners here,” Kozhevnikov was quoted as saying by “Championship”.
This season in the NHL, Zadorov played 22 games and scored 7 points (1 goal + 6 assists).
Vancouver is second in the NHL Western Conference standings with 33 points.
