Oleg Bolyakin, General Manager of «Barys»:

- We are glad to close the deficit position with a player of this level. McLeod has played quite successfully for the New Jersey Devils over the past four seasons, bringing benefits on both sides of the court, and he was among the NHL leaders in scoring. Anticipating questions about the proceedings involving him in Canada, I would like to say that Michael has pleaded not guilty and will defend his interests in court. In the future, we would like to refrain from commenting. Now, first of all, we consider McLeod as the first center who is able to become not only the leader of «Barys», but also one of the most recognizable players in the entire KHL.
