Former striker of the Moscow club Dynamo Vadim Shipachev on , he said that he had to leave the Moscow club, because the management had set a course for rejuvenation.
As part of Dynamo, Shipachev became the top scorer and assistant of the FONBET KHL championship three times and was twice recognized as the most valuable player of the regular season. He played for the team from 2018 to 2022, after which he joined Ak Bars Kazan.
— For three seasons in a row you become the top scorer in the league, then they trade you for 500 rubles. You were exchanged for a thousand with Slava Voinov.
– Part of the business. It is clear that I did not want to leave Dynamo, but the management decided to change the vector of rejuvenation. Accepted as is. What else should I do? Go ask to be left? Of course not. They called and explained.
And before this season, I signed a three-year contract. They played for a year and, apparently, the management’s patience ran out, because the team did not go beyond the second round of the Gagarin Cup. Let’s try with our young people. ALL RIGHT! Nothing, they traded him.
And it’s good that Kazan took my contract. I spent two years there plus one year. That is, he went to Kazan for three years, but never finished it. A new coach has arrived,” Shipachev said on .
This fall, 37-year-old Shipachev set two KHL records: in the number of championship matches (1009) and in points scored (929). Additionally, he holds the record for regular season and playoff assists (638).
