Zagidullin Artem biography

With each new day, the start of the next season of the Continental Hockey League is getting closer and closer, the teams pack their trains, journalists get more and more rumors about the possible transitions of hockey players, and we do not cease to follow the development of events in our favorite league. Yes, albeit not as actively as during the season, but there are reasons for this.

In the offseason, unfortunately, the teams do not so often give us loud reasons for discussion. And if they are not - therefore, you need to come up with yourself. Today I propose to start counting other people's money and see which players are most painful on the wallets of their teams. We will consider the most expensive players of the Continental Hockey League, we will analyze three positions - goalkeeper, defender, striker.

The topic is delicate and interesting, so I count on your stormy response and hot discussions in the comments. I know very well how you love it and can perfectly: all the information about the salaries of the players is taken from the open source on the Sport-Express portal. Three forwards and two defenders of the “wolves” earn 38 and 35 million each. A year ago, Artem signed a new contract with Magnitogorsk Metallurg, but did not justify his high trust, not playing out of future champions and half the season.

The leadership of Neftekhimik believes in Artyom, and was split into a fairly large amount of the contract for the goalkeeper, who, frankly, filled his chance in Metallurg. And after moving to Tatarstan, Zagidullin frankly did not shine, playing only 4 meetings. With such initial data, a contract for 33 million rubles seems serious overpayment. Rumor has it that, taking into account the bonuses, the final salary of Artem by the end of the season can increase to 50 million rubles.

But these bonuses still need to be earned. In any case, the goalkeeper of the Neftekhimik is frankly “wolf appetite”. The leadership of the team from Nizhnekamsk openly risks and gives Artem a serious advance. Does Zagidullin make it? I am enveloped in vague doubts. For me, there will be absolutely no surprise if another goalkeeper Neftekhimika, Philip Dolganov, who has perfectly played last season, will put Artyom “on the jar” and become the main one, receiving only 12 million rubles.

I evaluate the quality of the Zagidullin contract at 3 unjustified, risky overpayment. In ninth place we have a whole scattering of the guards of the gate, which will earn 35 million rubles “clean” in the new season, without taking into account possible bonuses. Among this magnificent six, two contracts are absolutely “top -end” quality. Alexander Samonov and Daniil Isaev - two of the three best goalkeepers following the results of the last regular championship.

And the fact that they show such the highest level of the game for not the greatest money, a huge success for Salavat Yulaev and Lokomotiv. Having read this article to the end, you will learn that there are goalkeepers in our league who get much more serious money, and not shows such a high -quality and reliable game “for all money”, like Samonov and Isaev. I evaluate the contracts of Alexander and Daniil at 10 out of 10, in terms of price and quality, among the highest paid goalkeepers, I think it will not be cooler.

The Omsk Avangard also worked quite successfully, in the current off -season, Mikhail Berdin shutdown himself. Mikhail showed himself well in Sochi, as far as possible in such a basement team. Now Berdin is free from the torment of the performance for the Autsider team and will finally become the main part of one of the leaders of the East. Given the “desired” passport of Berdin and the presence of a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation under the limit for legionnaires - a significant bonus - a salary of 35 million does not look like an overpayment for such a goalkeeper.

Mikhail is talented, by the standards of the goalkeepers is in his prime and he has something to prove. Berdin signed a two -year contract, the next season he will find an increase in salary - plus 10 million rubles. The only thing that embarrasses in this signing is Berdin to cope with his rushing responsibility? Mikhail has never played the role of the main goalkeeper in the KHL team, claiming the highest places.

The pressure on Berdin will be unusual. Knowing his quick -tempered character, the guy in places may swim. Given this risk, I evaluate Berdin’s contract at 8 because of the contracts of the rest of the goalkeepers from this list. The road spent the frankly weak last season in the Vityaz, which was a surprise and an unpleasant surprise. The guy needs to recover and catch his game again.

If Maxim plays out the upcoming season as a year before last, there will be no questions on the salary assigned to him. So far I am evaluating the quality of his contract at 7 of the Nadezhda that last season was only an absurd accident. Not a single field player of the team earns more than the Belarusian goalkeeper. Ivan will become the first number of Nizhny Novgorod in the new season without any “but”, since the team of the Slovak Adam Gusk left the team this off -season.

For two seasons, Ivan showed himself from the good side in Torpedo, frankly did not fail.He is a player who is not exposed to injuries, and he showed a decent statistics. He played with his money, so I put his contract with the confident 8 of the experienced Igor Bobkov clearly took root in Khabarovsk and became “his own” there. In Amur, Igor showed his best numbers over the past 4 seasons, helped the team for the first time in a long time to get into the playoffs, thereby earning an extension of the contract with a small salary increase for two seasons at once.

We recognize a hand on the heart that the office of the Khabarovsk team did not line up from those who wanted to fly to games through our entire beautiful and immense homeland, so the proven version with Bobkov, I think, arranged both sides. But for the player’s loyalty to the difficult conditions of performance for a team from the Far East, sometimes you have to overpay, which is absolutely logical.

And yes, 33 years for the goalkeeper - the age is not at all critical. Therefore, this union of the player and the club, as well as the amount of the contract, I see a completely reasonable consensus. I put this signing of 8 out of 10 points. In the past championship, he spent 12 less games and showed the statistics worse than a year earlier. Another thing is that neither Andrei Kareev, nor Dmitry Nikolaev, who replaced the fish at the gate, also did not show some outstanding and reliable game, so that Patrick’s position in the new season as the main goalkeeper will be questioned.

Moreover, Kareev again changed the club residence permit and in the new championship he will play for the Dynamo Minsk, and Nikolaev has not yet proved himself so confident as to regularly receive a place in the starting lineup. Choosing Mezhge Dmitry Nikolaev with a salary of 19 million rubles and Patrick a fish with a salary of 37, it is clear that the preference will be given to the player with a greater salary and occupying a scarce legionnaire position.

To put a fishing on a jar with such initial data will mean a vain waste of a large amount of money and “into the idle” employee’s occupied place. Such a squeezing is quite compassionate management of Spartak, obviously, cannot afford. As for the quality of the contract, it is clearly higher than that of the same Artem Zagidullin. Fisherman is a proven performer, quite reliable, accustomed to the realities of the KHL and to the tactics of Spartak.

With a pair of goalkeepers, the fish-nicolas have no need to beat the bells, like the neighbors from Dynamo, and urgently look for the Savior on the last line. It is clear that the spring will show who and where, but at the moment the Slovak goalkeeper’s contract I see a completely acceptable transaction, I don’t exclude the fact that, during the Spartak championship, I will still have to look for the strengthening of such an important position if they seriously expect to compete for the Gagarin Cup.

With Rybar in the gate in such a development of events, so far, he is hard to believe. The following on our list are guys whose annual earnings “clean” reaches four tens of millions of rubles. Zach Fukale, a goalkeeper from Chelyabinsk, brilliantly proved himself last season, playing well in the regular championship and performing perfectly in the playoffs. Zak became one of the main factors of the loud departure of the Ufa “Salavat Yulaev” in the first round, the Canadian also directly took part in the humiliation of “regularka champion”, the Moscow Dynamo.

Now you can reason in every way and pretend to be various possible options for the development of events, but it is stupid to deny the fact that if Fukal had not received an offensive injury in the first game of the semifinals against Lokomotiv, that series could end differently. At least the Tractor could linger in it longer. Still, the role of ZAO in the successful playoffs of the Chelyabinsk team is very great and its significance is difficult to overestimate.

I think, under the guidance of a new, but well -known, head coach Benois Grag, Zach, by healing his sores, is able to play even better. I think that this contract can be placed by well -deserved 9 points from Vasily Demchenko, then the situation is approximately similar to Igor Bobkov. The Far East, frequent and long flights, for this charm of life, clubs, of course, have to overpay a bit.

Vasily did not look bad in the team of Leonid Tambiev, did not fail, although it is obvious that at that time the Admiral had already stopped solving any tournament tasks of the season. The result for 11 meetings are simply catastrophic. The change of location clearly benefited Demchenko, and the next season, Vasily will receive 5 million more than in the past. In general, given the geographical nuances associated with the "Admiral" and not the highest tournament ambitions of the team - the smaller salary of a high -quality goalkeeper simply cannot be lured there.

Vasily himself from this cooperation in a good plus, and the Vladivostok team qualitatively, as far as possible, closed the goalkeeper question. I think everyone is happy. Therefore, I put this contract with confident 7 of more precisely, in Togliatti.

In general, he is the highest paid player of Lada, overtaking the closest rich, defender Denis Barantsev, 10 million rubles.During his career, Poyapolsky played for different teams, and everywhere, in principle, was good and stable. While the curve path of fate did not lead him to SKA, where, frankly, he was lost, did not come in handy, and in the season he spent only 15 matches.

After the transition to a pitress club, such a development of events is alas, it is not uncommon. Naturally, after not the most successful segment in the northern capital, Vladislav was sent to Lada, because only two paths to the KHL - to Sochi or Tolyatti from St. Petersburg. And there, Poyapolsky again found himself the same. Vladislav became a stronghold of the game "Lada", reliably defended the gate, showed good statistics and in the first half of the championship became one of the main discoveries of the tournament.

Together with the team, of course. Vlad played for all the money - he received 45 million last season, but was the fifth in the list of the highest paid goalkeepers. As we see, he drew out of the five, but also sixth place in the list of the most expensive league cypers, playing for such a modest team as Lada is also honorable. If a team with a limited budget finds such a fairly impressive amount, on the goalkeeper, it means that he really costs this money.

The next season, I am waiting for the same stable from Vladislav, which largely determines the game for the team.
