"Sanya Alexeyev is so happy after the season,» Kuznetsov said per a sports.ru transcription and translation by Google Translate. «‘I have two more years.' I say: ‘You're a fool. Now they'll sign someone and you'll be the seventh [defender] to ride [the bench most] of the year' – ‘No, what are you getting at?'
"In the end, they took (Joel) Edmundson, leaving (Rasmus) Sandin and (Martin) Fehervary. That's three left [defensemen]. And [Alexeyev's] signed for another two years."
