Kazansky “AK bars” announced on the site the transfer of a Russian defender to the team Artemy Knyazeva .
The deal with the 22-year-old defender runs until the end of the 2023/24 season.
The graduate of the Kazan club began the current season in the AHL (American Hockey League) with the Manitoba Moose, the Winnipeg Jets’ farm club, where he played 20 games and collected five assists. In total, Knyazev played 141 matches in the AHL, scoring 61 points (12 goals + 49 assists) with a utility indicator of -54. Knyazev also has one NHL game with the San Jose Sharks.
— Knyazev is a young but already experienced defender, graduated from our system, familiar with the team’s requirements. He skates very well, handles the puck well and is ready for fast-paced hockey.
We are happy to see Artemy return and hope for a successful cooperation. We are confident that his return home and his big goals will help him reach a new level,” said Marat Valiullin, Managing Director of Ak Bars.
