Shocking Revelation Comes Out Regarding Evgeny Kuznetsov
It was reported a while back that Russian winger Evgeny Kuznetsov was unhappy with his current situation in Washington, and wanted a trade. Some time has passed since then, and we now know more about the situation.
Kuznetsov Not Happy Playing Hockey
Perhaps one of the worst things a team could hear about their players is true for Kuznetsov. The Russian star is reportedly unhappy in Washington, and no longer gets joy from playing the sport.
His agent, Sergei Fedotov spoke on the issue:
«I have known Zhenya [Kuznetsov] for a very long time and are friends. There are people who are quite disciplined. Zhenya is not in this category. Zhenya from the category is closer to me if I don't feel [inspired] from what I do, I will definitely look for opportunities to make me feel comfortable. It is an inner and mental state."
«Right now, Zhenya doesn't have this [joy] from hockey, and Kuznetsov, without this recharge, without a spark, he's not interested in anything. He wanted to change the team for a long time, he was tired in Washington, and also – not only aggravated, but in many respects it was influenced by the fact that Laviolette does not play the hockey that is typical for Evgeny Kuznetsov.» - Sergei Fedotov

«He just needs a change of scenery. He has a family, he has children, in this sense he is doing well. But for him to get more buzz from what he lives with, from hockey Now he doesn't have this buzz.»
It really is a sad thing to hear, as Kuznetsov is a beloved figure in Washington. Hopefully, a trade can be worked out that benefits both sides of this issue, but as it stands now, Kuznetsov really wants out of Washington.
