Nabokov’s agent: Yevgeny will play for NY Islanders

Sergey Isakov, agent of the Russian goaltender Yevgeny Nabokov, has confirmed the information that his client will continue his career at the NHL club New York Islanders.

«Yevgeny has signed a contract with the Islanders and will play for this team. He feels perfectly well and has completely recovered from the injury sustained at the World Championship in Slovakia. I mean both the physical and the mental aspects of it.»

«Will he try to get traded to another NHL club, a stronger one?»

«It’s unlikely to happen until September. But the fact that he wanted to play at Detroit has become history now. Today he is an Islanders’ player», stated the agent according to Sovetsky Sport.
