Managing Director of Traktor Alexey Volkov says if negotiations are underway on a new contract with the goalkeeper Zach Fucale .
After the end of the season, the Canadian hockey player’s agreement with the club expires.
“We talked about it a month ago and agreed to come back to this topic after the new year. I understand that Zach wants to have the best season of his career to sign a contract in North America. Even before its transition to “Tractor” we talked about how playing in the KHL could boost NHL stocks. He contacts his agent, who monitors the market abroad. If he has options, he will let us know in advance so we understand that we may not see Fucale in the KHL next year. If Zach is available, then we will be very happy to extend his contract, as it will be a mutually beneficial agreement.
— Do you agree with the opinion that Fucale “runs the locker room” in Chelyabinsk?
– Certainly. The testosterone that bubbles within him and the activities he does in the locker room are part of who he is. And we knew what kind of person he was, and it’s a very rare combination of such emotions in goalkeepers. They tend to be more focused on themselves, but Zach does it without compromising his game or the team atmosphere. We’re excited to have Zach setting the tone. But we also have other guys who create a high-quality atmosphere that we like,” Volkov said, as quoted by RB Sport.
