— Nikita Gusev breaks many records within Dynamo. Do you think he has the prospect of returning to the NHL with a game like this?
“I think he feels more comfortable playing here.” He is a family-oriented adult. For some hockey players, the feeling of comfort always comes first; their talent then reveals itself more clearly in a variety of colors than in conditions of fierce competition. In general, they do not seek the good of the good. However, you can try, why not? But I think he is doing very well at Dynamo with the partners he has,” Badyukov told .
