Before “Avant-garde » Vladimir Tkachev said the Omsk club was a priority option to continue his career.
In August, Tkachev signed a new three-year contract with Avangard worth 300 million rubles. The striker will become the highest paid player in the KHL.
– Glad to have joined the team. When you train with partners, you get into the rhythm faster. Corban Knight is leaving? The teamwork we had is worth a lot, but let’s wish him the best of luck. I saw Ryan Spooner several times, I hope we find mutual understanding with him.
We will have 68 games in the regular season, every game we need the help of the rest of the guys because it is difficult to spend the whole regular season at the same level.
Last season, I immediately told the agent that we would talk first with Avangard about a new contract, then, if nothing worked out, with others. Of course, there is responsibility, motivation, I want to lift the Gagarin Cup, I will do everything for that,” Tkachev said in an interview with the club’s press service.
Last season, Tkachev played 78 games for the Hawks in the regular season and KHL playoffs, scored 73 points (26 goals and 47 assists).
Avangard in the opening game of the new season on September 2 will host Sibir Novosibirsk.
