Attack Alexander Barabanov can return to the KHL, a decision on this will be made in the coming days, said agent Alexander Chernykh, who represents the interests of the hockey player.
Barabanov left San Jose on July 1. The 30-year-old forward has been playing for the American club since 2021.
— Is it already known that Alexander Barabanov is returning to the KHL?
— The final decision will be made at the end of this week. We do not exclude the possibility that Barabanov will return to the KHL. The NHL market is working, options are also being considered there.
— Is there much interest in him in the KHL?
— The interest is good. It would be even more, but some clubs understand that they will exceed the salary cap, given the cost of Alexander’s contract.
— Some media outlets report that Barabanov will definitely be in Ak Bars.
“At the moment it is not one hundred percent determined that it will be Ak Bars,” Chernykh told RB Sport.
Last season, Barabanov played 46 games for San Jose, in which he scored 13 (4+9) points.
