Athletistic / Hockey. Former head coach of the Russian youth hockey team and SKA consultant Valery Bragin spoke about the transfer of forward Evgeny Kuznetsov to the St. Petersburg club. The expert suggested that the forward could succeed.

According to Bragin, Kuznetsov has no problems with motivation.

“I do not make predictions, but Zhenya can become one of the leaders in the KHL scorer race. I saw how he worked at the Novogorsk base and immediately noticed that Kuznetsov’s eyes were burning – like at the 2011 World Junior Championship in Buffalo, where we won gold. When Zhenya played in America, he went into the shadows somewhere, and here in St. Petersburg only a full stadium came to his performance, I think Kuznetsov will be inspired by this,” Match TV quotes Bragin.
