Dynamo secures Gusev on a three-week deal for 150,000 rubles
Hockey News: Gusev Joins Dinamo on Trial, Khafizullin Moves to Neftkhimik
In a series of moves shaking up the Russian hockey landscape, two high-profile players have switched teams. Nikita Gusev, the top scorer for Dinamo last season, has signed a three-week trial agreement with Moscow's Dinamo, while Dinar Khafizullin has joined Neftkhimik.
Gusev, a 33-year-old forward, enjoyed a successful campaign in the previous season, earning around 70 million rubles. However, his current salary on his trial contract with Dinamo Moscow remains undisclosed. Given the nature of try-out contracts, it is likely that his earnings during this period are lower than his previous season's salary.
Meanwhile, Khafizullin, a defender, has left Salavat Yulaev after two seasons to join Neftkhimik. The financial details of his contract with Neftkhimik are also not publicly available. It is unclear if Neftkhimik used a trial contract or if Khafizullin's departure from Salavat Yulaev was related to contractual issues or other reasons.
Interestingly, Dinamo used a trial contract due to having no free space under the salary cap. During the period of Gusev's trial, he will reportedly receive 150,000 rubles.
On the other hand, American Charles Robinson, a former player for Chelyabinsk's Traktor, has left the team. The reasons for his departure are not specified.
These moves underscore the dynamic nature of the Russian hockey scene, with teams constantly seeking to strengthen their rosters while managing their financial resources. As the trial periods progress, fans will eagerly await any updates on the future of these players with their respective teams.
Bookmakers are likely to keep a close eye on the performances of Nikita Gusev during his trial period with Dinamo Moscow, given his history of high-scoring in the previous hockey season. The sports news of his move from Dinamo to Dinamo Moscow, along with Dinar Khafizullin's transfer from Salavat Yulaev to Neftkhimik, adds an intriguing angle to the ongoing Russian hockey season.
