Avangard General Manager Alexei Sopin has addressed rumors linking the Omsk club with Dynamo Moscow forward Max Comtois and CSKA forward Denis Guryanov.
“There may be painful trades, but that’s hockey life — nothing can be done about it. As for Comtois, it’s just rumors. There have been no substantive talks, and he wouldn’t fully fit into our group. Discussing Guryanov right now is pointless, but reports say he has already agreed to terms with CSKA.
We voted in favor of all the new regulations and support the league in this regard. Our situation is not tied to any rule changes — we simply want to become stronger. And if a trade needs to be made, we will make it,” Sopin told Championat correspondent Lev Lukin.
