The best scorer of the Omsk Avangard wants to continue playing in the NHL

According to the agent of the attacking hockey Avangard Vladimir Tkachev, Shumi Babaev, the player does not plan to continue his career in the KHL. According to his agent, he and the hockey player are now looking for options in the NHL.

The leader of the Avangard attacks last season, Vladimir Tkachev, plans to move to the NHL club, his agent Shumi Babaev said. With reference to him news about it informed federal “MK”.

The agent explained that the player had not agreed on a new contract with the Hawks. His current employment contract ends April 30. The main goal now is a contract in the NHL. According to Babaev, the dialogue with some clubs from the US and Canada has already started.

Earlier we wrotethat, according to Avangard general manager Rashid Khabibullin, negotiations between Tkachev and the club are still ongoing. A very large contract – for example, more than that of Bush (95 million rubles in one season-2023/24), they most likely cannot give Vladimir because of the “ceiling” of salaries in the KHL. But there is a great desire to keep it in the composition.

Tkachev returned to Omsk in 2022 and very competently signed a new contract with the Hawks for only 1 season.

He already had an attempt to play in the NHL, but in the 2021/22 season he spent only 4 meetings there for the Los Angeles Kings.
