SKA announced the signing of a four-year contract with Kuznetsov on July 31. Previously, the hockey player played for Traktor Chelyabinsk, Washington, where he won the Stanley Cup, and for Carolina. On Thursday, a presentation of the player took place in St. Petersburg.
— What are your emotions following the presentation in Ledovoy?

— Do you think your family is happy with the holidays?
