Sergey Brylin is courted by Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and Metallurg Novokuznetsk

Paul Theofanous, the agent of the Russian forward Sergey Brylin, told about the progress of the player’s employment negotiations.

«There are two teams interested in Brylin – Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and Metallurg Novokuznetsk. We’ve been holding some constructive negotiations with them for a couple of weeks already.»

«Didn’t you find any options in the NHL?»

«The only offer available is from New Jersey. However, they don’t see Sergey as the player, but rather as a coach. He spent a lot of time with this team, so they want to get him back into the organization. But Brylin still wants to play,» Theofanous stated as quoted by Sovetsky Sport.
