Commentator Dmitry Guberniev shared his thoughts on goaltender Ilya Nabokov’s transfer from Metallurg to the Colorado Avalanche organization. Reports indicate the Russian netminder has been assigned to the AHL and is already training with the Colorado Eagles.
“Nabokov is heading to the NHL — how do you assess this decision?” “There’s no debate here. You have to take risks. Especially since our goalies play a prominent role in the NHL. There’s no point in sitting around waiting for something to happen — you need to play where the best are. So go for it, Nabokov! Especially since there was already one Nabokov there, and now another hockey writer Nabokov has been given a chance to establish himself in the NHL. I wish him luck,” Guberniev said.
