Dynamo Moscow striker Nikita Gusev said he would sign a contract with a National Hockey League (NHL) club if he played a significant role on the team.

— Let’s be clear, you don’t just want to play in the NHL, do you? We’re talking specifically about a one-sided contract and a spot in one of the top two teams. You won’t accept other conditions yourself?
– Yes, that’s true. It’s important for me to play my hockey and show my best qualities on the ice. That’s why I’m at Dynamo now.
— Have you not considered other KHL clubs in principle? You are a free agent.
— We spent last season, although not ideal, but overall quite well. And personally, I am happy with everything at Dynamo. Therefore, we did not think about other clubs, “Gusev is quoted as saying by the press service of Dynamo.
