Honored Russia coach Yuri Novikov supported the striker’s decision “Spartacus” Maxima Tsyplakova join an NHL club New York Islanders .
On Thursday it became known that Tsyplakov signed a one-year contract with the NHL club Islanders, according to which he will receive $950,000 per season.
— As a Spartak fan, I am sad that the main player is leaving for the NHL. However, I understand it. I think this is a completely correct decision. This will elevate him and the respected hockey family. We know that his grandfather, Viktor Vasilyevich Tsyplakov, was a famous hockey player. It is worth glorifying this name in the NHL. Spartak loses its main player, but I understand Maxim’s decision. We will support him.
The only thing that is unclear is the agent’s explanation. He says it was not possible to reach a financial agreement with Spartak. But excuse me, they’re not going to the NHL just because they can’t agree on money. To go to the best league in the world and say I came here because I didn’t agree with the other team is insulting. The word is not a sparrow. If something goes wrong, these bourgeois see all their movements written down. In the NHL, you have to fight, and that’s what our guys do. And we are proud of them. There can only be good things to say about Maxim. “I am only for his departure, because Spartak players should be present in the NHL,” Novikov said according to RB Sport.
Tsyplakov is 25 years old. Last season, he played 76 matches for Spartak, scored 51 points (33 goals + 18 assists) and became the second scorer in the team after Nikolai Goldobin.
In total, Tsyplakov spent seven seasons with Spartak, scoring 128 (65+63) points in 354 KHL matches.
