Yesterday, the Colorado Avalanche announced that they had placed Andrei Mironov on waivers with the purpose of terminating his contract. Shortly after, the young Russian defenseman spoke to SovSport in an interview that tells us two things:
1. Andrei Mironov is not fond of how the Avalanche handled his season.
2. Andrei Mironov thinks he’s a much better hockey player than we got to see during his time in North America.
We had Igor Nikonov or RawCharge.com translate the interview for us. We want to thank Igor for his help - please any errors as English is far from Igor’s native language.
