Acting Director General “Avant-garde” Evgeniy Zabuga personally spoke Matvey Zaseda that the team needs him, agent Shumi Babaev, who represents the interests of the 25-year-old hockey player, told .
On Saturday, Spartak traded striker Zaseda to Avangard Omsk. As a result of the exchange, the Moscow club received the rights to 20-year-old forward Gleb Trikozov, who is in the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes system, as well as 17-year-old defenseman Vladislav Ukhmylov and monetary compensation.
“We reached an agreement with difficulty, with difficulty. Matvey’s question itself was very difficult. I am grateful to Oleg Usachev, with whom we jointly solved this problem, as well as to the leaders of Avangard, namely Evgeniy Zabuga, who was always involved in this difficult task, did not lose his optimism and helped Matvey himself. It was a difficult time for Zaseda, but Zabuga was in contact with him, talking about the interest of the Omsk club, that the team needed him. The negotiations were difficult, but you know, when everyone came together on one goal, which was that the guy should continue to play hockey, they finally found a compromise that suited everyone. I am very happy that everything ended successfully,” Babaev told .
The reunion is 25 years old. He has been part of the Spartak system since 2022 and has also previously played for Khabarovsk Amur and Avangard. In total, he played 105 matches in the KHL and scored 36 points (18+18) with a utility indicator of -25.
