General director “Ak Barsa” Marat Valiullin, in an interview with , spoke about the situation of the striker who returned to the club’s system Alexander Khovanov .
Khovanov, 22, will continue his career with Barca in the VHL. The hockey player spent last season overseas in the AHL and ECHL leagues. Previously, Minnesota, which selected the hockey player in the 2018 draft, placed him on an unconditional draft.
Khovanov played for the Bars in the 2020/21 season – he played 35 games in the VHL, during which he scored 25 points (8+17) with an utility indicator of +7.
– On Monday, Khovanov completely passed the medical examination. Minnesota was expected to terminate his contract. Because the NHL club until the last wanted to keep it or exchange it. But the player clarified that he would not go to North America.
We think Khovanov has potential. Several KHL clubs have approached us with an offer to trade sports rights. But he’s only 22, he showed a good game. If everything changes in Sasha’s head for the better, then he will realize his enormous potential.
For how many years did you sign it?
– For one year. But we tend to say that if a hockey player shows up before December, we can extend it. It all depends on the player. We have two agricultural clubs – Bars and Neftyanik. Now he will start training with the Bars and then we will watch. Farms have different tasks. Neftyanik’s team is made up of older guys, they are usually looking for medals. There he can be better in terms of development.
