Transition forward Evgenia Kuznetsova in Saint Petersburg SKA can bring huge benefits to Russian hockey, said the two-time world champion Vladimir Yurzinov Sr. .
According to , the Stanley Cup winner with Washington will fly to St. Petersburg on Friday. Kuznetsov, 32, is expected to sign a four-year contract with SKA.
— I remember Evgeny from the time he was training in Chelyabinsk. He is a very nice, interesting guy. I don’t care that he left the NHL to play. The most important thing is that he is a good person, nice to talk to, smart and competent. We really missed highly developed individual players like Kuznetsov. He will help young players in their further development. I am convinced that he will be entrusted with this important role.
“If he helps to prepare the same Kuznetsovs, then this will be his main achievement. I want him to preserve our school of individual and unconventional players. The fact that he can bring great benefits to our hockey in SKA is undeniable. St. Petersburg has a wonderfully built system, interaction with fans, an academy, etc.,” Yurzinov told Soviet Sport.
