Kamenev interjúból a (szerintem) érdekesebb részletek:

You missed playoffs, even though you were healthy.

VK: This is simple. Jared Bednar talked to me, when I recovered. He said, that upcoming games are very important, and he doesn’t want to risk anything at this moment. It was the same in the playoffs. Yes, we were practicing and keeping ourselves in shape, but the team was complete.

I tried to watch your games after recovering. You played 10 or 12 minutes. It was hard to notice you on the ice.

VK: Because coach didn’t know me. And games were really important. I totally understand. I hope next season will be a like a fresh start. The main thing that I don’t have any issues with my health. My leg is okay, and head doesn’t hurt.

Were you satisfied with your trade from Nashville?

VK: Sure. Avalanche’s playing more European hockey. I’m not going to say anything bad about the Predators, but style of game is more schematic. Yes, you should be ready for everything, but I didn’t like it.

But you still scored a lot of points playing for Milwaukee Admirals.

VK: Yes, the Predators farm team plays exactly the same style of hockey, but I allowed myself to play the way I like in my last year there. There is a funny story, that happened after my trade to Colorado. I tried to play the way they taught me in Nashville on one of my first practices with new my team. But then someone said to me that I need to be more creative. I was happy.

But this is the last year of your deal.

VK: Yes, but I’m going to do everything to sign a new contract next year. Return to Russia? You know, I like it here in the North America. I’m not even sure if I want to consider it.
