“Despite this, the best hockey in the world remains in the NHL. If people have the opportunity, they play it. But when masters like Kuznetsov return, it is a great joy for all Russian hockey fans. I strongly support such returns, but I do not think that it will become a mass trend. Let me emphasize once again: the best hockey league in the world at the moment is the NHL. But we are not standing still and are not developing either. Does it matter whether I believe that Zhenya will be able to revive his career in Russia? The sport itself will show everything. If he is a good athlete, and he is a good athlete, then everything will be fine,” Guberniev was quoted as saying by VseProAthletistic.
