Agent Alexander Chernykh spoke about the desire of the hockey player Ilya Kovalchuk, who returned to Russia, to stay in the United States. His words are quoted by Sport24.

Chernykh said that Kovalchuk so late decided to sign a contract with Avangard Omsk due to the fact that he was waiting for offers from the National Hockey League (NHL). “If I had waited some more, maybe something would have appeared there. Plus Ilya is a dad with many children. Of course, he would like to stay in America, ”he added.
