Two-time winner of the Gagarin Cup with Dynamo Moscow Sergei Konkov believes that the Kunlun Red Star striker Nail Yakupov able to lead the scoring race in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
On Monday, Yakupov was recognized as the best forward of the starting week of the new season of the FONBET KHL Championship. In three regular season games, he scored 4 (3+1) points.
“I expected this kind of game from him every year.” In terms of potential, he can be a leader not only in the KHL, but also in the NHL, where he could prove himself to the maximum. Now Nail is showing himself well, but it seems to me that he is not yet fully qualified. I am very glad that he got such a start. I wish him to maintain such a movement, “Konkov was quoted as saying by RB Sport.
