CSKA Moscow keen on Ottawa’s Nikita Filatov, Senators reluctant
KHL club CSKA Moscow intend to return Russian forward Nikita Filatov from the NHL’s Ottawa Senators.
This season, the 21-year-old took part in six matches, scoring 1 (0+1) point for the Senators. Filatov has been also assigned to Ottawa’s AHL farm club Binghamton Senators twice, where he made 10 appearances, scoring 4 goals and 2 assists. Filatov already played for CSKA during the 2009-10 season, scoring 23 (9+14) points in 26 games.
Gleb Chistyakov, general director of Sports Management company who manage Filatov’s affairs, commented on the reports and confirmed them. «There is a desire of CSKA Moscow to see Filatov in their team. The final decision on this issue will depend on the Senators. He is under contract with the club, so it’s still premature to speak about the probability of the move. The situation is still not clear enough,» Chistyakov said as quoted by RIA Novosti.
Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray revealed he had a face-to-face meeting with Nikita Filatov four days ago, as the Russian winger admitted he was not happy with playing in the American Hockey League.
«I told him, ‘If you’re playing well, we will give you an opportunity to show your wares here. If by the end of November you’re not in the NHL, I will sit down and talk to you.
«Filatov has some concern about playing in Binghamton. He wants to be in the NHL obviously.»
Murray also said the negotiations have gone as far as CSKA general manager Sergey Nemchinov contacting Murray by telephone last week to ask his permission to sign Filatov.
«I told (Nemchinov) nothing can be done now. Let me have the time. I will decide when – if ever. I don’t know how he could have signed a deal. The KHL honours NHL contracts and we honour theirs. So the option is not Filatov’s ... it’s the Ottawa Senators’,» Murray said as quoted by Sportsnet.
