Another high-profile transition in the KHL.
This happened. Forward Alexander Burmistrov has finally escaped from Ak Bars. The contract with the 31-year-old hockey player will be officially terminated in the near future by mutual agreement of the parties, after which the player will sign a contract with Metallurg until the end of the 2022/2023 season.
Yes, in recent years Alexander’s career has seen a certain decline. But it was provoked, among other things, by the inability of the Kazan coaching staff to correctly use the hockey player. It’s no secret that Burmistrov had a conflict with Oleg Znark, now the former helmsman of the Leopards. In the end, Alexander was not only taken out of the team, but also got to pick up things from the locker room and practice according to an individual program at the club. This is absolutely not the case, the decision to move in this situation suggested itself.

“The reason is not the disagreement between the coach and the player, Alexander returned to Kazan by my decision,” the club’s general manager Marat Valiullin made a statement.
But, of course, there is little truth in this statement. We know whose decision it is and why it was made.
common Kazakhstanis wanted to find their hockey player in the clubs of the ongoing conferences. It is logical, because you clearly don’t want to strengthen your brothers in the East in Ak Bars. However, the striker himself wanted to stay in the Eastern Conference. As a result, the parties managed to agree and hit on the hand.

And this is good, because in the current situation it is not necessary to accept. Neither the club nor the player needs a constant and protracted conflict. One needs to calmly go his own way, and the other needs to reanimate his belonging. Agree, everything is quite logical.
It is also logical that Metallurg became the second team of the hockey player. Ilya Vorobyov, head coach of the Urals, knows Burmistrova very well. Ilya Petrovich has a completely different character, which is happening with Znark. This is a calm and reasonable coach, but at the same time very demanding.
In addition, Burmistrov is close friends with the captain of Magnitogorsk Yegor Yakovlev. We have no doubt that Egor will immediately bring his comrade and colleague up to date, and prompt where necessary.

And in general, center forwards with a public passport will never be superfluous. Moreover, the deadline is on the horizon, and the market is almost empty. Let’s not take into account the fact that half of Burmistrova’s annual salary (40 million rubles) has already been paid by Ak Bars, so financially Magnitogorsk also arranged everything. Nobody canceled the hard salary cap, plus the Magnitogorsk people in general don’t have much money for transfers. This is also why the deal involving Burmistrov looks outwardly both for the player himself and for the new club. The main thing now is to reach your previous level, facilitate the implementation and implement the coaching guidelines. Alexander is an experienced and experienced hockey player. I don’t think he will have any problems with this.
