HC Salavat Yulaev made double exchange with Sibir and CSKA

UFA, 26 October 2017. /Bashinform News Agency, Natalia Ovcharuk/. Today, on October 26, the Ufa club Salavat Yulaev made an exchange of hockey players: Yevgeny Bodrov departed to Sibir and Denis Kokarev to CSKA. Although later the KHL specified: Kokarev was signed up by Magnitogorsk. Instead, the Bashkir team received defender Fedor Belyakov and forward Anton Burdasov. The last transfer is called one of the most resounding in the KHL.

According to the general manager of HC Salavat Yulaev Leonid Weisfeld, the Ufa ice squad needed a player "scoring, with a powerful throw".

"About Fedor Belyakov - there was a variant of Bodrov's exchange for Belyakov. We need such stay-at-home defenseman", the press service of HC Salavat Yulaev quotes Weisfeld.

Also, the general manager specified that the central forward Ilya Zubov, who had been injured, had already recovered.
