Afanasiev has announced plans to make his NHL debut for Nashville next season.

russian striker Egor Afanasyev talked about his desire to debut for “Nashville Predators” next season in the National Hockey League (NHL).

– I will try to do everything in my power to get into the main team. It was my first professional season in North America and I think it was a good and successful season. I learned a lot. I think it was a great experience.

Sometimes you wake up lazy in the summer. You have to flip that switch and be motivated every day because everyone wants to play in the NHL. I’m one of those guys who wants to be there, – Afanasyev quotes the official NHL website.
