Double Olympic champion Alexander Kozhevnikov expressed hope that the attacker Nikolai Kulemin will be able to sign a full contract with an NHL club Ottawa Senators .
Earlier, Kulemin, who turned 38 this year, agreed a trial deal with the Canadian club.
— What do you think about Nikolai Kulemin, who signed a trial contract with Ottawa?
– Okay, let him try. What’s wrong with that? Trying isn’t torture. The person wants to stay there, and it’s good that he at least has a trial contract. Whether it works or not, we’ll have to see.
— Some fans and experts criticized Nikolai: they say, where are you going at 38?
– Well, yes, 38 years, but you have to wish your people success! God grant that they succeed. Everyone has their own opinion, everyone has the right to express themselves. And therefore, the attempt is not torture, – Kozhevnikov quotes in the Championship.
Last season, the forward played in the KHL for Ufa Salavat Yulaev. The forward took part in 46 regular season games and scored 25 (13+12) points.
As a member of the Russian national team, Kulemin won the World Championships in 2012 and 2014, and also twice won silver (2010, 2015) and bronze (2007) with the national team.
