Former Spartak forward Kirill Knyazev evaluated former red-white forward Maxim Tsyplakov’s chances in the National Hockey League (NHL). In the comments legal betting He expressed the opinion that the player who joined the New York Islanders deserves a chance abroad.
“Tsyplakov was on his way to the title of “elite KHL forward.” It turned out that last season was very important for him. He slowly walked towards this season, he was on this path. We see an increase in points and therefore goals.
In the NHL, a lot will depend on him, his coach, his partners and his role with the Islanders. The language barrier and the adaptation process also need to be taken into account,” says Knyazev.
The expert emphasized that the actions of the “islanders” in the transfer market will also determine a lot. Knyazev noted that it is too early to talk about this because the NHL season is not over yet. He also admitted that Tsyplakov kept the NHL option in mind even throughout the season.
