Former director “Tractors “Andrei Balandin expressed the opinion that the Russian forward of the NHL club”Caroline » Evgeny Kuznetsov will no longer return to its previous level.
The Hurricanes lost to the New York Rangers 2-4 in their Stanley Cup second round series.
— Kuznetsov played his last match inexpressively and showed nothing. Naturally, he has talent and there will be flashes, like in these playoffs. But we will no longer see the Zhenya Kuznetsov who was there. I don’t know how much longer he’ll play – a year or two in the NHL or five years if he returns to the KHL. It is unlikely that it will be requested abroad; it does not arouse any particular interest. And look what happens to Nichushkin: out of the blue – one thing, and that’s it. Where is the guarantee that this will not happen to Zhenya?
I don’t know how Kuznetsov sees his career in the future. Maybe he wants to open a cafe or another business in America, he has a lot of money. If he wants to become a coach or a general manager, then he should come back here, there are more chances here. Everything depends on his choice, he is a thoughtful person,” Balandin said, as quoted by RB Sport.
