SKA before Arseniy Gritsyuk told that the newcomer to the military club is a striker Evgeny Kuznetsov is an ordinary guy from Chelyabinsk who jokes and laughs more than anyone else in the team.
SKA announced the signing of Kuznetsov to a four-year contract on July 31. The forward previously played for Traktor, Washington, where he won the Stanley Cup, and Carolina.
“We all watched the video of Zhenya Kuznetsov pranking someone in the locker room and having fun. How does he act now? Has anyone ever suffered from his humor?
“He’s just funny himself.” It’s great that he came to our team. Very cool to meet him. Of course, everyone knows that this person comes from the NHL, but in life it’s very simple. An ordinary guy from Chelyabinsk, nothing like that. He’s the one who jokes and laughs the most. We’re just getting to know each other, but he’s cool.
— Were you able to learn anything from him in terms of gameplay?
“We have been playing with him for a period and a half already. It is clear that he has played, nothing more. All the movements are confident. You feel what he expects from you and he feels what you want. It takes time to play. Yes, we already have combinations, I do not know if it will be possible to go out with him, but it is a nice life experience to play in the same team with Kuznetsov,” Gritsyuk told .
The new season of the FONBET KHL Championship starts on September 3. SKA will play the first match of the season on September 5 against Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
