Hockey player's post-departure experiences shock agent Tkachyeva, according to her statements
In a surprising turn of events, Russian hockey star Vladimir Tkachev has been traded from Avangard to Metallurg Magnitogorsk ahead of the 2025 KHL season. The exact reasons for the termination of Tkachev's contract with Avangard remain unclear, as no specific details have been provided in the available sources.
Tkachev, who was the highest-paid player in the KHL according to contract terms, had been a key player for Avangard. Last season, he scored 5 points (1 goal and 4 assists) in 4 regular season games and became one of his team's leaders in the playoffs, scoring 10 points (3 goals and 7 assists) in 13 games.
The signing of Tkachev by Metallurg was officially announced on July 29, marking the start of a new chapter in the player's career. The duration of his contract with Metallurg is two years. However, details about the termination of his contract with Avangard or the specific terms of his new contract with Metallurg are not yet available.
Tkachev's representative, Shumi Babayev, confirmed that the player was shocked by the termination of his contract. The Omsk club made the announcement, and it was further reported by Match TV. Interestingly, there were no earlier mentions of Tkachev signing with Metallurg.
Despite the contract termination occurring despite the agreement being until the end of May 2030, Tkachev seems to be taking the change in stride. His contract with Avangard was set to expire in May 2030. It remains to be seen how Tkachev will perform with his new team in the upcoming season.
As always, for precise contract terms or official statements, sports enthusiasts are advised to keep an eye on specialized sports news outlets or direct announcements from the KHL or the involved teams.
