"Transfer of Alistrov finalized by Ak Bars following trial period"
Ak Bars, the Kazan-based KHL club, has announced the signing of 24-year-old Belarusian forward Vladimir Alistrov to a two-year contract. The news comes after a successful trial period, during which Alistrov made a productive assist in three games.
Alistrov, born in 2001, has previously played for Dinamo Minsk and Salavat Yulaev Ufa in the KHL. Despite not being in peak physical condition, Ak Bars' management sees significant potential for growth in Alistrov. Marat Valiullin, the general manager of Ak Bars, considers Alistrov as one of the leading hockey players in his age group.
Alistrov is noted for his excellent size, speed, puck handling, and shooting abilities. He has a solid KHL record, having played 269 games and scoring 100 points (39 goals, 61 assists) with a plus-minus rating of '+3'. His experience includes playing in top team lines, having won the silver and bronze medal at the U18 World Championships and being a two-time winner of the Belarusian Cup.
Special attention will be paid to fully developing Alistrov's abilities. As of September 17, 2025, there are no published reports of a new contract between Vladimir Alistrov and Ak Bars for September 2025. Without an officially confirmed new contract, it is uncertain whether and when a new contract between the two parties will start.
Meanwhile, HC Spartak has extended forward Mikhail Maltsev's contract until 2027. Bookmakers consider HC CSKA the favorite in the derby against Spartak.
For updates on contracts and transfers, keep an eye on the official channels of Ak Bars Kasan, Alistrov's social media accounts, or reputable Russian sports portals such as RIA Novosti or Sport Express.
