Honored coach of Russia in hockey Vladimir Krikunov told that the possible return of the striker Evgenia Kuznetsova in the KHL will have a positive effect on attendance, noting that the main question is: in what form are Russian hockey players.
“Caroline” On Wednesday, Stanley Cup winner Kuznetsov was admitted to the draft on an unconditional waiver. According to media reports, the 32-year-old forward could sign a contract with SKA St. Petersburg.
— Sooner or later, all our hockey players will return from the NHL to Russia. Yes, only a few will play to the end in America. Our hockey is now good, somewhat similar to that of the NHL. So it is not surprising that Kuznetsov returns to Russia. In any case, no one will pay more than ours.
The arrival of stars like Evgeniy will bring an influx of spectators to the arenas, everyone will come to see the former NHL star. But the question is in what shape he is now, because Carolina put him on an unconditional waiver draft for a reason,” Krikunov told .
Kuznetsov is a Stanley Cup winner with Washington and a two-time world champion. The forward played for Traktor Chelyabinsk in Russia.
