Alexey Sopin said that Ivan Ryabkin could return to Dynamo. Dynamo announced the termination of the agreement at the initiative of the hockey player.
– Ryabkin scored a point per match in the youth team, but did not play at the adult level. Why?
– Ivan’s potential is crazy. I think that at the age of 17 he should have played in the KHL this season.
But there are certain points. . . There are always two sides. We probably did something wrong too. Ivan also needs to reconsider something in his attitude.
And today we have reached a dead end. Ryabkin did not receive as much playing time and opportunities as he would have liked.
– It is also important that the forward wants to be higher in the NHL draft.
– Of course, and this comes more from his North American agents. Their task is to draft Ryabkin higher.
This move is more to save the season and try to go higher in the future draft. This is my opinion.
– So you told Ryabkin that he could return to Dynamo next season?
– Yes, we previously agreed on this with his agent.
Now Ivan is finishing out the season in the American Junior League. And after the draft he plans to return to Russia, because our level is higher than in the USHL. Play in the AHL. . . His agent also understands that it will be difficult for Ryabkin to gain a foothold there right away.
Therefore, it is better to return and further develop in the Dynamo system. So we didn’t say goodbye to Ivan, but goodbye. We’ll be waiting for him back, ” said Dynamo sports director Alexey Sopin.
