Sergachev Addresses Military Service Concerns and NHL Career

The NHL defenseman from the Tampa Bay Lightning, Mikhail Sergachev, spoke in a candid interview on the YouTube channel Attention: Sobchak about his thoughts on the possibility of a Russian conscription policy affecting players abroad. He acknowledged that there were genuine concerns among Russian-born players about mobilization, but he personally did not let those concerns dictate his choices or his willingness to pursue a professional career outside Russia. Sergachev emphasized that he did not harbor preconceived fears about moving abroad for his sport and that he approached his situation with calm and pragmatism, recognizing the potential for political and military developments without allowing them to overshadow his path in hockey.
