Athletistic / Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian national team Vladimir Plyushchev shared his opinion on the situation with Washington Capitals forward Evgeny Kuznetsov. He was traded to an AHL farm club after being placed on waivers during the draft.

This season, the forward played 43 games in the NHL and scored 17 (6+11) points. Throughout his career overseas, he played for Washington.

Previously, the Russian took advantage of the player assistance program.

“Eugene must understand this situation himself and make a decision for himself.

No one can advise him anything. Everything is in his hands. He can take care of it himself if he wants.

He’s an adult, he understands the situation he finds himself in.

Where he should go: in the KHL, NHL, AHL, that’s his business,” RIA Novosti quotes Plyushchev as saying.
