NHL Shockwaves: Martin Necas, Patrik Laine, and Evgeny Kuznetsov Linked to Surprising Trade Frenzy
There was a rumor that the Pittsburgh Penguins were one of the interested teams, but Kuznetsov said that wasn’t true.
“I didn’t have an option with Pittsburgh — they said no right away.”
Kuznetsov noted to Sport-Express that he wanted to remain close to family as well.
“I don’t know why no one believes I had NHL offers. I just didn’t want to go back there myself. As I said, there are too many questions about my game from people who, in my opinion, do not understand hockey. And I want not to prove something to them, but to please (my) relatives and friends with a good season. So I didn’t want to go far — I wanted to be there for parents, children, wife, maybe even a grandmother could come to the games.”
