Former hockey player Yevgeny Artyukhin believes that the attacker Evgeny Kuznetsov will become one of the leaders of the Fonbet Continental Hockey League (KHL).
Earlier, the 32-year-old forward had terminated his contract with Carolina and was granted unrestricted free agent status. On Wednesday, Kuznetsov signed a four-year contract with SKA.
— Is the return of Evgeny Kuznetsov a big event for our hockey?
– It’s such a great feeling. It’s good for popularizing our hockey and, among other things, for the fans.
— Do you think Kuznetsov can immediately become one of the best players in the KHL?
– Of course he can. He is the greatest master, and everything should work out for him. Of course, he will have to rebuild himself after North American hockey, but in principle I do not doubt him. I think he will be one of the leaders of our championship, “Artyukhin quotes RB Sport.
Last season, Kuznetsov scored 24 (8+16) points in 63 regular season games with Washington and Carolina, adding 6 (4+2) points in 10 playoff games.
