WHERE FOR ART THOW KIASKOV ?

[Exlaxchronicles 415]

 

Another season has past and Kiaskov is another year older. With one more season left before retirement the Right Winger is soon to be an UFA after this years playoff's.

 

The forward has once again finished strong in the last ten games producing his third straight season with 76 points in 72 games.

Playing along side Axelsson and Ron on the second and fourth lines, the three have some chemistry. " I couldn't have done it without the help of my team mates, they're a talented bunch of guys".

 

As the forward enters his final option year he looks back in retrospect reflecting on his career thus far..." Its been a life long dream of mine to play professional hockey". " Going through all the physical challenges I've had all my life it has held me back in development". " But I perserverd and was able to have a career in the VHL". " Its been a good run, regardless of whether or not I've won a Founders Cup."

 

During a local station interview with spot lights on home town heroes, Kiaskov was asked about him going into next season without a contract and he replied  "Well so far along I've been traded three times already in three years". "To be honest, it doesn't make you feel secure in your situation as a professional player, but its all part of the game and I can't let personal feelings get in the way". "

 

 "As for coming into UFA my final year, I've already been offered the chance at extension but my decision at this time is still up in the air". "My focus right now is on winning a cup".

 

So with that, Kiaskov's final season hangs in the air in regards as to where he will spend his final year. Will it be HC Davos, another team or will the winger  exercise his option and enter free agency ? Only the future knows.
