Traktor defender Danil Mamaev will not defend the colors of the Chelyabinsk club in the new season. As Life learned, the 24-year-old defender was offered a two-way contract, but not with the main team, but with the farm club. Mamaev refused to sign the agreement. After this, the contract with the player, which was supposed to be valid until April 2020, was terminated.
The presence and absence of Mamaev’s contract with Traktor is associated in the hockey community with the personal life of the hockey player. A year ago, the defender married Elizaveta Senicheva, the daughter of the director of Traktor and the former vice-governor of the Chelyabinsk region, who became famous.
However, at the end of the season, the Mamaev family boat began to crack. Fans of the stellar couple by local standards noticed that Elizabeth deleted all the photos with Danil and renamed her page on Instagram. The media reported their divorce. R-Sport correspondent Semyon Galkevich reported on Twitter in May that Traktor would terminate Mamaev’s contract after his disagreement with the director’s daughter, and today he confirmed this information.
Danil Mamaev is a kind of “idol” for Chelyabinsk hockey fans. Over the course of two seasons at Traktor, he played 79 matches in the regular championship, in which he scored four points, having a negative utility indicator. In eight games in the playoffs, the hockey player did not score any points for performance.
The general public remembered Mamaev more not for his hockey exploits, but for his television broadcast. Last season, during the break after the second period of the match with CSKA, when the “black and whites” were losing with a score of 0:2, when asked by a journalist about the reasons for the unsuccessful game, the defender replied that “everything is fine,” which surprised the fans of the “black and whites” .
We're losing 0:2, what's going on?
It's okay, everything's fine.
How normal? We are losing.
Oh well. Now, maybe we can win back.
“Traktor” lost that match with a score of 0:3, and the amazingly calm Danil Mamaev and his phrases instantly became memes among the fans. Fans, using Photoshop, attached the head of the Traktor defender to the body of Matt Damon's hero from the film The Departed, where he accepts the inevitability of circumstances with the same fatalism.
After Mamaev’s words spread throughout the country’s sports media, the defender gave another interview to the Traktor press service, in which he explained that he had been misunderstood.
- Our task is not to give up in any situation. The fan sector wrote to us in large letters the words of Gimaev: “Go and fight!” That's what we always try to do. What was said wrong in that interview? Why do we need to give up at 0:2?! Or that we give up?! This time we couldn't win. CSKA was stronger. But no one on the team despairs. We are working further, preparing even more seriously for the match with Kunlun,- said Mamaev.
It is not yet known where Mamaev plans to continue his career after terminating his contract with Traktor. In a telephone conversation with Chelyabinsk journalists, he
New image scandal flared up in Traktor.
Danil Mamaev, son-in-law of the former vice-governor of the Chelyabinsk region Ivan Senichev, was fired from Traktor Holding Company. But the club administration keeps this a secret. Traktor employees unofficially confirm the information, noting that there will be no official statements on the club’s website. Nevertheless, many are waiting for Mamaev’s name to appear on the KHL website in the list of those who left the team, where transfer news is published. Znak.com figured out what the mixing of sports and family business led to.
From the pharmaceutical club to the front line
On September 3, 2016, about three thousand spectators in Khanty-Mansiysk watched a boring match between the local Ugra and Traktor, in which a young and not very famous defender Danil Mamaev made his KHL debut.
The graduate of Magnitogorsk “Metallurg”, who was missing stars from the sky in children’s and youth hockey, appeared in the “Traktor” system back in 2014, when Boris Dubrovsky became the new governor of the region and a variety of personnel from Magnitogorsk flowed to Chelyabinsk. Two years later, fate brought Danil Mamaev to the match with Ugra. He spent a total of seven and a half minutes on the ice. Traktor lost in the shootout.
From the second half of that season, the defender began to play regularly in the KHL. Largely because Traktor was confidently at the top of the table, and the director of the Chelyabinsk club, Ivan Senichev, “convinced” head coach Anvar Gatiyatulin to give the player, who had long known Senichev’s daughter Elizaveta, several chances. That season, Mamaev played thirty-six matches, in the third and fourth lines, without showing anything outstanding overall, having one assist, several blocked opponent’s shots and not a single power move.
Then events developed in a predictable manner. Senichev, guided by personal motives, decided to increase Mamaev’s status.
Until the spring of 2017, the defender worked at Traktor on a two-way contract, which expired in 2018. He could play in both the KHL and the VHL - for Traktor’s farm club Chelmet. But when transferred to the VHL, I lost a significant amount of money.
In May 2017, Traktor signed a new labor agreement with Mamaev - a unilateral one for three years. At that time, none of the main team players had such a long contract.From the point of view of hockey business and team building, this was a completely pointless action. Mamaev, even according to statistics, was not one of the strongest defensive players in the entire Traktor system and, according to all scouting reports, could not become one in the future; his progress and professional growth looked extremely doubtful.
45 million as a wedding gift?
Znak.Com sources estimate the amount of Mamaev’s contract at 45 million rubles over three years, without bonuses. For the first season, the player received 12 million, for the second - 15, for the third - 18. These are quite small numbers by hockey standards. The leaders of the Chelyabinsk club have contracts worth approximately 60 million rubles per season.
A month later, Danil Mamaev and Elizaveta Senicheva got married, and the case about the hockey player’s contract began to sparkle with new colors. No one had any doubt that the player’s three-year contract with Traktor was nothing more than a luxurious wedding gift from Senichev to his daughter. Moreover, this gift was organized essentially with taxpayers’ money, since the basis for financing “Traktor” is the budget of the Chelyabinsk region. At the same time, Senichev would have insured himself in case of a change of power - if he himself left the club, and the new owners wanted to get rid of his son-in-law, they would have to pay Mamaev a substantial penalty.
A one-sided three-year contract guaranteed the player and his family certain money, since according to KHL regulations, with such a contract, the club cannot transfer the player to the VHL. The exception is the waiver draft procedure.
A little later, in February 2018, this played for Mamaev. When the KHL interrupted the season due to the Olympics, Traktor players Artem Penkovsky, Vitaly Kravtsov and Alexander Sharov, who had bilateral contracts, went to Chelmet to get playing practice. Mamaev did not go anywhere. Although it was he who needed this business trip for professional growth in the first place.
Comments closed after the interview
In the 2017/18 season, Mamaev should have played a lot and often, and he played a lot and often. Everyone in the KHL understood the level of the defender, but Senichev’s insistence on imposing the player on the head coach knew no bounds. This overlapped with the team’s unstable results at the start of the championship and caused serious protest sentiments among Traktor fans. Their peak occurred in October, when Mamaev gave an epic interview during the break of the match with CSKA. In order to somehow quell the protest, Senichev ordered to disable the ability to comment in all social networks club. There is no such possibility yet.
But in the bronze playoffs Mamaev played only two games. Traktor needed results. Senichev stopped putting pressure on Anvar Gatiyatulin about having certain players on the roster - and as a result, the coach led the team to the finals of the Eastern Conference.
At the same time, Mamaev did not lose out, having earned decent money by the standards of an ordinary person. For example, in March he played in only three matches, spent less than thirty minutes on the ice, but received approximately 1.2 million rubles per month due to his contract. One game minute of a hockey player cost Traktor approximately 40 thousand rubles.
Mamaev's last match for Traktor was revealing. With the score 4:1 in favor of Traktor, he was responsible for two goals against his team and cast doubt on the overall victory in the series with Neftekhimik. Fortunately, everything ended well. "Traktor" brought the matter to victory in the match and series. After which the general manager of the club, Evgeny Gubarev, attributed Mamaev’s poor performance to a cold.
No family - no contract
Back in mid-April, Danil Mamaev and Elizaveta Senicheva attended the Traktor awards ceremony together bronze medals at the residence of the governor of the Chelyabinsk region. But by the end of the month their couple broke up. In mid-May, the media disseminated information about the separation and the cruel consequences for Mamaev - the termination of that same one-sided contract.
The public outcry did not allow Senichev to do everything in the spring: the club director, who had a far from impeccable reputation, needed to save his own face, and he switched his attention to the new head coach of Traktor, German Titov. The rhetoric was simple: if Mamaev suits Titov and proves himself, he will play.
Mamaev even began preparing with the team for the new season, went to a training camp in Finland and played in one friendly match. But a few days after Traktor returned to Russia, everything was over.
First, the player’s father, Pavel Mamaev, was fired from the club, who, under the patronage of Senichev, also moved from Magnitogorsk to Chelyabinsk four years ago and worked at Traktor as the head of the base. The next day, the fate of the director’s ex-son-in-law was decided.The site Allhockey.ru was the first to report this: “A source in the club reports that Traktor offered defender Danil Mamaev a two-way contract, which the player refused. The club’s agreement with the hockey player was terminated.”
Of course, there is still no official information about the termination from Traktor. There is also information about how Traktor terminated the contract with Mamaev and what mandatory compensation was paid to the player under KHL regulations.
However, the approximate amount can be calculated without difficulty. According to Article 30 of the KHL Legal Regulations, in case of early termination of a contract at the initiative of the club - no later than seven days before the start of the championship - the hockey player is paid remuneration for the time actually worked and severance pay in the amount of 25% of the amount of wages unpaid for the current season, and 20% of the amount of wages provided for the remaining seasons of the contract.
The first part of the severance pay is paid within two months from the date of dismissal, regardless of his subsequent employment, the second part - in equal installments, starting from the start date of the season following the one in which the contract was terminated, with installments for the period of validity of the terminated contract. Payment of the second part ceases from the moment the hockey player signs a new contract with any professional hockey club(except for VHL clubs).
That is, in the case of Mamaev we are talking about approximately 5.5 million rubles. The hockey player can receive about 3.5 million rubles more from Traktor.
Over two years, Mamaev played 87 matches for Traktor, made 4 assists, 22 shots on goal, a record minimum 5 power moves, blocked 39 opponents’ shots, and forced opponents to break the rules 2 times. On average, he spent just over nine minutes on the ice per game. Now the hockey player is actively looking for an agent to try to continue his career in the KHL.
I would like to hear answers to numerous questions about this matter, which has an extremely negative impact on the image of Traktor, from Ivan Senichev, Evgeny Gubarev or any other representatives of the club.
