Valeri Kamensky, the vice president of FONBET KHL, commented on the appointment of 61-year-old Oleg Znarok to the NHL club Philadelphia Flyers, where he will be responsible for the development of the team's European players.
Znarok is a mature person and is capable of making his own choices. He has been without a job. The appointment will help Matvei Michkov and Ivan Fedotov. It’s good to have your people in the team. Znarok has extensive experience and knows both Russian hockey and European hockey. This will undoubtedly be an advantage for Philadelphia.
