New York Extends Luca Volkov

[STZ 5,280]

 

New York, New York.

 

Looks like the New York Americans have enjoyed the "Luca Volkov Experiment". Volkov was signed to a one-year deal in the off-season where he had the pick of the litter when it came to VHL destinations. Volkov chose the young and coming New York Americans who came off an impressive campaign filled with rookies. Volkov signed his contract with the knowledge that he would be pairing up with the ROTY and Top Defender Award winner Casey Jones on the back-end. 

 

Volkov has emerged as a solid two-way defenseman as he leads the team defense in hits, and has added 42 points in 59 games. He has proven that he is one of the strongest defensemen in the league. With rookie Colton Rayne also having a big season, it seems as though New York Americans have a three-headed monster developing on their blue line.

 

NYA has announced that Luca Volkov has re-signed with the team for the remainder of his career, for the next three seasons. While the Americans seem to be smitten by the defender, the feeling must be mutual for the "in-demand" defenseman to re-sign a career contract with the Americans.
