Nemchinov supported the decision of the Washington leadership. He also highlighted the contribution of team captain Alexander Ovechkin to the development of the young forward.
“The decision of the Washington management to involve Miroshnichenko in the NHL is absolutely correct. And Ovechkin helps Ivan to join the team, supports him. The fact that Alexander took his patronage testifies to his human qualities.
It is the continuity of generations. Experienced hockey players always pass on their knowledge to younger players. Ovechkin helps the team develop a new super-striker,” Metaratings quotes Nemchinov.
