Panthers Forced to Pay Compensation for Dadonov?
As I reported last Friday, Evgeni Dadonov’s KHL club Traktor Chelyabinsk will be seeking compensation from the Panthers if the proposed deal to sign the winger goes through. The latest to come out from Russia is that the club indeed consider that the player has signed with them and are seeking help from the KHL to defend their contractual rights.
The coach, Andrei Nazaros, said on the Russian site Sovsport.ru that Chelyabinsk will want compensation money from the Florida Panthers; so they can sign a new player in Dadonov’s place. He say’s that they don’t want anything extravagant or too hefty – just a modest $500.000 dollars…
“Traktor spends 12 years developing its students like Dadonov and bringing them to the first team,” Nazarov also said. “And then some cunning guys from North America simply steal our players.”
The man obviously has a point, especially if Dadonov indeed has a valid contract with the Russian team. How the Panthers organization responds to this latest development remains to be seen, as of yet no word has come out of the organization in response.
If Evgeni is signed, he’ll be plying his trade with the Rochester Americans this coming season.
