He's got 2 years left on his KHL deal anyway. A lot can happen between now and then.Nice to see him doing well but given Hawks poor history with Russian picks and the current political situation my expectations are he will never be a Hawk.
This year he is mostly Ak Bars' 3rd center comparing to being a first line center in the previous season, so the stats are expected to go down. Contract is through 2024/25.Hasn't had the same statistical success as last year so far, but I watched their previous game and he was still doing a lot of things right.
Do you know his contract situation?
Last season the Ak Bars' top line was based on the Safonov and Voronkov chemistry blended with Radulov's skill. Voronkov is gone to NA, so the chemistry is gone and without him it didn't exactly work, so Safonov was moved to the 3rd line.Any particular reason he is seeing a bit less ice time? It appears Jaskin is the only significant addition to the Kazan forward group.
