Google translate doesn't do a very good job of translating it, so maybe one of the Russian literate posters would care to post a better translation

BEFORE the deadline
I was on a suitcase
- Your quote: "Exchange waited until the last."
- And there is.
- And when they came to such a point that any thought of having the trade, and whether there were reasonable grounds to think that the exchange take place?
- Were. And as far as I know, everything has come very close. I've been out of a suitcase. Moreover, we with Igor Larionov given permission to talk to other teams. A number of clubs were interested. But at the last moment something went wrong. And I'm - here.
- Write that you want to "Montreal", "Winnipeg", "New Jersey" and "Carolina". What was the closest and one of them would you prefer?
- This is not an exhaustive list - it is possible even two or three of the club call. But to say where I could and would like to be, it can be any number. The fact that this did not happen, and I'm still in the "Edmonton". Now the season is over, and then pass the playoffs - and the summer will be seen. There will be a lot more time to negotiate, no one no one else will press time - and make the exchange, I think it will be much easier. But ultimately everything depends on the "Oilers".
- And you were asked to exchange?
- Yes, please. But personally - my job to go out and play hockey - and through an agent, which is engaged in the discussion and decision on such issues. But just talking about the exchange were, therefore, it had reason to it.
- As Larionov advised to behave in this situation?
- Play. Hockey live normal lives. Everyone must do their job. I tried, trained, worked and tried to enjoy hockey. Discuss exchange - none of my business, and I did not have to dwell on it.
- Do not you think about going back to the KHL?
- No and no again.
