Head Coach of “Amour” Andrei Martemianov appreciated the signing of a contract with the striker Arnaud Durandot .
The Canadian forward signed a one-year contract with the Khabarovsk team.
— Isn’t it dangerous to take a foreign player from outside and take him to the Far East, without understanding whether he can adapt to the game in objectively difficult conditions?
— We have a decent coaching staff and analytics department. We watched a lot of Durando games and didn’t take the pig in a poke.
He is crazy motivated because he dreams of returning to the NHL by playing in the KHL. Such precedents exist. If, after playing in Amur, the guy receives a strong offer from the NHL or even from another KHL club, then I will only be happy for him. I never get angry; if a hockey player is promoted, it means that your work is in him.
When they came to the team, in the first training session, they immediately did a two-way game to see what state they were in. And we immediately saw how quickly they made their decisions. So we didn’t miss anything. At least, I hope so,” Martemyanov said, as quoted by Championship.
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3.
