“” became known from management’s more detailed reaction”Salavat Yulaeva » that the 34-year-old player Viktor Tikhonov ended his playing career without completing the final year of the contract at Ufa.
“Overall, we have mixed feelings about the situation. Of course, Victor was an important part of the team,” a source at the club told . “His attitude at work was really respectful. It is on this basis that we assume that the decision to end his playing career is not his personal initiative. Most likely, there was significant external pressure. Nevertheless, the question of contractual obligations is on the agenda. If a player, after the club has fulfilled its obligations towards him, decides to announce his retirement without the intention of paying compensation to the club, then it is wrong.
– The Club intends to take all measures aimed at recovering the appropriate amount of compensation. We are still waiting for Victor at the training camp in Ufa. Information from a banned social network gives us reasonable doubts,” the source added.
Tikhonov scored 15 (5+10) points in 25 KHL regular season games last season, in the playoffs – 6 (3+3) points in 11 games. Viktor won the Gagarin Cup with SKA in 2015 and 2017.
