As became known to , the 25-year-old striker “Diesel” Nikita Lee cannot reach a joint decision with the club regarding his contract.
Last season, the forward played for Diesel Penza in the Senior Hockey League (VHL) and scored 38 points (20 goals + 18 assists) in 52 regular season games. His contract with this team has already expired. But the hockey player has the status of a restricted free agent, the sports rights belong to Diesel.
KHL club Admiral Vladivostok became interested in the player and offered him a bilateral contract. But “Diesel” does not let him go, does not accept exchanges for another hockey player, does not name the amount of compensation. Lee himself is ready to redeem himself from Diesel for two million rubles, but this option also does not suit the Penza club.
Several pundits immediately told that during this offseason, due to such issues, transitions from the VHL to the KHL are particularly difficult. Despite the KHL reducing the foreigner limit from five to three, the bet will now be placed more on Russian hockey players.
