Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov commented on the desire of the Magnitogorsk striker “Metallurgist » Nikita Grebenkin try your hand at the National Hockey League (NHL).
Grebenkin was selected by Toronto 135th overall in the 2022 draft. In the last KHL regular season, the forward scored 41 points (19+22) in 67 games, adding 6 points (3+3) in 23 playoff games.
– If he likes it, let him go. Let’s see what happens. I didn’t stand out here. Did he cause a sensation here, or what? He cannot be compared to Malkin. Not even close. If he thinks he’s ready, let him go. Perhaps he will find himself in a new role. Fedotov is happy to be gone. This opens, let’s say, new doors for him. God grant that everything goes well for them,” Kojevnikov said, as quoted by Championship.
Metallurg won the Gagarin Cup by defeating Lokomotiv in four matches. Ural goalkeeper Ilya Nabokov was recognized as the most valuable player of the playoffs.
