Photo gallery: O´Reilly landed in Slovakia
The former Colorado Avalanche center has arrived in Slovakia, Central Europe for the Sunday´s KHL game.The KHL team of Metallurg
Magnitogorsk landed in the capital city of Slovakia, Bratislava, in the
afternoon on Saturday. The team roster includes the currently best hockey
player on the planet, Evgeni Malkin
and also the former Avalanche center Ryan
O´Reilly. Yes, the former.
Ryan has signed two-year contract with the team. His
NHL status is the restricted free agent. Unofficially, if the Avs would offer
him the contract with better conditions than he has now, he will come back to
the NHL anytime.
Eurolanche
will meet with Ryan today in the evening and do the exclusive interview. Stay
tuned.
As you can see on the pictures above, fans had the
biggest interest in Malkin, but most of them were waiting on O´Reilly too.
Totally, there were more than 30 fans waiting on the signatures and photos with
players. At the Bratislava airport, players have to go through the main hall,
so it is easy to meet them without any restrictions.
