"I have spent a large period of my career in Saint Petersburg, lifting the Gagarin Cup twice with this team. I remember the Ice Palace and the Hockey City complex well, so it will be easy for me to settle back in. I have really missed the fantastic support of the SKA fans! Furthermore, I want to thank the Ak Bars Kazan supporters for my time in Tatarstan. See you all at the Ice Palace soon!
