Athletistic/Hockey. Former Carolina forward Evgeny Kuznetsov is in the sphere of interest not only of SKA, but also of Ak Bars and Traktor, Business Online reports.

The 32-year-old hockey player graduated from Traktor and has already expressed a desire to return to his native club. The governor of the Chelyabinsk region Alexei Teksler considers Kuznetsov’s return to Traktor as a gift to voters before the September elections. In addition, it is the residents of Chelyabinsk who offer the player the most favorable financial conditions.

The transition to Ak Bars is also possible thanks to Kuznetsov’s friendship with head coach Anvar Gatiyatulin.
