“There are two different outflows and two different reasons. They are united by the fact that there is a dream, and, unfortunately, it’s not to play in the KHL and win the Gagarin Cup, but to play in the NHL and win the Stanley Cup, ”RIA Novosti quoted as saying.

He noted that the best players in the world are performing in the NHL, and such successful performers as Kirill Kaprizov go there to make a name for themselves among world-class hockey players.
