Sports director “Metallurgy” Evgeny Biryukov said that the Magnitogorsk club is working on extending the deals with the goalkeeper Ilya Nabokov and forward Danila Yurov .
Yurov and Nabokov’s contracts expire at the end of the current season.
— Guys recruited to the NHL, for example Yurov, Nabokov, have contracts that expire after this season. How do you communicate with the guys about new deals? What is your approach?
“They’re our guys, we always talk to them and ask their opinions. The work is underway, but I can’t call it aggressive. They are our leaders, but we try not to push them. They have their own representatives, so the process continues and does not stop.
– You are a compatriot of Nabokov. Will negotiations be easier with him?
— Yes, we are compatriots, but this process is still a little different. Of course we are talking, keep the situation in mind,” Biryukov said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Metallurg is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 34 points.
