Traktor general director Alexei Volkov said that the Chelyabinsk club rented a hockey player from Kazan Ak Bars Maksim Marouchev for a season.
– Does Traktor really lend Maxim Marushev to Ak Bars?
— Yes, in the near future. We were looking for swap options and wanted to sign it without a lease, but unfortunately we couldn’t. We wanted to strengthen our central axis, Marushev can also play on the right as well as on the left. He’s a great right-handed striker from North America. He has something to prove, and we and these guys are on their way.
– It turns out that Marushev is going to Traktor for a season?
– For now yes. There is an agreement with Ak Bars that we will come back to this conversation at the end of the season – regarding a buyout or a trade. We will see how Marushev adapts to the team and how he adapts to us. It makes no sense to look at it for a long time, we are building a team step by step, Maxim will help us,” RB Sport quote Volkov.
Last season Marushev played for the Henderson Silver Knights in the AHL, the 24-year-old scored 17 points (7+10) in 64 regular season games. In the KHL, Marushev played 14 games for Kazan, providing two assists.
