— How is the off-season going?
- Great! I've already had time to rest a little, and now I've started preparing for the new season. I work in the gym, gradually increasing the load. Full of strength, energy and desire to show everything he is capable of.
- In North America they write that you can leave SKA and go to Philadelphia due to bad relations with Roman Rotenberg. Is it so?
"I don't know where such rumors come from." Apparently, someone in America decided that everything could be seen and heard better from there, but this is not so. Roman Borisovich and I have an excellent relationship! We are constantly in touch, talking, he gives a lot of practical and valuable advice - we have complete mutual understanding both with the club and with him personally, which I really appreciate.
— Now there are a lot of rumors circulating on the Internet about where you will continue your career.
How do you react to them?
- I don't pay attention. My job is to be 100% ready and play my best hockey in any situation. I try not to be distracted by reading the news, this only hinders me from fully preparing for the season."
