As has learned, the goalkeeper Nikolai Khabibulin under a one-year contract with Nizhny Novgorod “Torpedo “will earn 7 million rubles.
On December 27, Torpedo announced the signing of a hockey player contract until the end of the season with 50-year-old Khabibulin, goalkeeper coach in the team of the head coach of Nizhny Novgorod, Igor Larionov.
With the help of Khabibulin’s contract, Torpedo solves the problem of the salary floor (the minimum amount of funds that each club must provide for the salaries of hockey players of the main team): Nikolai already received a salary at the club, and now it has been increased without attracting new players.
On Wednesday, December 27, the additional application period in the KHL ends: from December 28, clubs will no longer be able to make trades or conclude contracts with new hockey players.
Khabibulin is a 1992 Olympic champion, a bronze medalist at the 2002 Games and a Stanley Cup winner in 2004. He holds the record for the most NHL games among Russian goaltenders (799).
