Goalkeeper of Metallurg Magnitogorsk Ilya Nabokov told that he has no current plans to move to North America.
Last season, Nabokov, 21, with Magnitogorsk won the Gagarin Cup and was recognized as the most valuable player of the playoffs. In June, the Colorado Avalanche selected the Russian 38th overall in the NHL Draft. On Saturday, Nabokov took part in the “Game of the Year,” which featured Russian stars from the NHL and KHL. The game ended with a score of 8:8.
— Nice game, incredible emotions. To play and be in the same locker room with such guys is a real dream. I am very happy.
— Played at the level of the best hockey players in the NHL. Are you thinking about Colorado?
— The guys played without enthusiasm, so it’s not even worth comparing. Even if all this happens in the future, there is no point in thinking about it. Time will show. My goal is to win the second Gagarin Cup with Magnitogorsk, I am preparing for it,” Nabokov told the correspondent.
