Former head coach of Avangard and Vityaz Dmitry Riabykin said the Stanley Cup winner’s transition Evgenia Kuznetsova in Saint Petersburg SKA – this is the best news of the off-season.
SKA announced on Wednesday that it has signed Kuznetsov to a four-year contract.
— I consider Kuznetsov’s transfer to SKA to be the best news of the hockey offseason. St. Petersburg has shown once again that it brings stars back to Russia, offering them even better sports conditions than in the NHL. There were memorable stories with the return of Kovalchuk and Datsyuk, and now Kuznetsov is coming back.
Of course, such a transfer will benefit our entire league. SKA has already sold out all its home games, and now such a player has arrived. I am sure that St. Petersburg will become crazy about hockey again. I think that the army team’s away games are also guaranteed to be sold out. It is important that Kuznetsov is not a veteran. He is only 32 years old, he recently coached Carolina to the NHL playoffs – he scored four goals, did everything possible for the team to advance. I am sure that Kuznetsov, in his current form, is by far the best hockey player playing in Europe. Only positive emotions from such a transition, “Championship quoted Ryabykin as saying.
Kuznetsov graduated from Chelyabinsk Traktor. For the team, he played 251 games in the KHL and scored 167 points (78 goals and 89 assists). He made his NHL debut in March 2014 and won the Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018. In March of this year, he was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes. In total, he played 743 games in the NHL regular championships and recorded 575 points (173+402); in the playoffs, he scored 73 points (33+40) in 97 games.
