Speaking Monday on a conference call from Boston, where he is attending the NHL's annual congress, Ducks general manager Jack Ferreira said the parties had reached an agreement.
As Tverdovsky still has two years on his contract with Krylja Sovetov of Russia, the agreement with the Ducks allows him to leave without the NHL team having to pay any fee to Krylja. Those fees will instead be paid by the International Ice Hockey Federation.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
