MOSCOW, June 3 Moscow Dynamo general manager Alexei Sopin explained » Championship, why the club's main stars Vadim Shipachev and Vyacheslav Voinov were exchanged for 1,000 rubles. In early May, Shipachev and Voinov moved to Ak Bars Kazan. For hockey players, Dynamo received a monetary compensation of 1,000 rubles.
"Shipachev and Voinov were very highly paid hockey players and greatly overloaded the club's payroll. "Dynamo" had two or three specific proposals, but the guys had a clause on the prohibition of the exchange. For the exchange to take place, the desire of all three parties had to coincide. The deal could be put off indefinitely. The negotiations took a long time, and, unfortunately, there was nothing else to extract, except for unloading the statement,» Sopin said.
Shipachev played for Dynamo over the past three seasons. Voinov spent one season with the team. Both hockey players are Olympic champions.
