Rashid Khabibulin, Avangard General Manager:

- Adding a defenseman before the playoffs is one of our top priorities. And such an experienced player as Kiselevich, who has won an Olympic gold medal and the Gagarin Cup, will stand Avangard in good stead. He is a defensive-minded defenseman who has good size and is always solid in front of his net, has a good plus minus stat. Besides, he knows how to play and win playoff games - and it is extremely important for creating an efficient team aimed at winning the Cup.
