Double winner of the Gagarin Cup Sergei Konkov highly appreciated the decision of the Yaroslavl leadership “Lokomotiv” recruit an attacker Alexander Radulov .
On Thursday, Lokomotiv announced that Radulov had signed a one-year deal with the Yaroslavl club.
“I think it’s a great acquisition for Lokomotiv.” Alexander will become that bright personality, that leader who, first of all, the guys who are still successfully starting their journey will admire. And Radulov can show these necessary qualities and share the experience of victories and overtaking. And, first of all, we consider him not as a leader, but as a player capable of creating a chance and single-handedly deciding the outcome of the match. It is clear that now they pay attention to age, but in terms of dedication, preparation, training, I don’t remember Radulov having any problems.
If he maintains the same high energy level, then the skills he possesses will of course have a positive effect on Lokomotiv. I think this will likely be a key acquisition for Yaroslavl this offseason. Radulov is a player who has repeatedly shown that he can lead a team. It is therefore important here that he adapts to the team, the technical staff is able to find contact with the player so that he shows all his best qualities, his talent and his potential. Alexander is the person who always sought to win. That’s why I think it’s a good deal,” Metaratings.ru quotes Konkov.
Last season, 37-year-old Radulov played for Ak Bars and scored 40 (16+24) points in 58 KHL regular season games, adding 4 (1+3) points in four playoff games. The Kazan club was eliminated in the first round of the Gagarin Cup, losing to Avtomobilist (1-4).
Previously, Radulov played in Russia for CSKA and Salavat Yulaev Ufa, and also played in the NHL for Nashville, Montreal and Dallas. As a member of the Russian national team, he became a two-time world champion.
