Russian defender “Utah” Mikhail Sergachev said he does not claim to be the main star of the new NHL team.
End of June “Tampa” traded the 26-year-old hockey player to Utah, who will play in the NHL for the first time in the 2024/25 season.
“The NBA organization there, all the NBA people, everything is at the highest level. Will I be the face of the franchise? No, absolutely not. This status must be achieved,” the correspondent reports, according to Sergachev’s words.
Sergachev is 26 years old and has been playing for Tampa since 2017. As a member of the Lightning, the Russian became a two-time Stanley Cup winner.
