Moscow sports director “Dynamo” Alexey Sopin told that the striker Nikita Gusev will work on an equal basis with all other participants in the training camp if he signs a contract with the club.
31-year-old Gusev, during the last KHL championship as part of the “blue and white”, scored 89 (23+66) points in 68 regular season games, adding 10 (3+7) points in nine playoff games. At the closing ceremony of the season, Gusev was recognized as the most valuable hockey player in the KHL. Since May 1, the attacker has the status of an unrestricted free agent.
— What is your agreement with Nikita Gusev? Is there a deadline to sign a contract with Dynamo Moscow?

When we last spoke with Nikita, he gave a timeline until about the end of July, which he would decide by then. If he returns to the KHL and continues playing for Dynamo, he will attend general training camp.
In general, we are in constant communication with Gusev and together we determined the schedule.
— What, can Nikita continue her career not in Russia?
