HC "Torpedo" conducted a three-way trade with "Avtomobilist" and Moscow's "Dynamo."

      Nizhny Novgorod's "Torpedo" became a participant in a three-way trade with "Avtomobilist" and Moscow's "Dynamo." As a result of the deal, the Nizhny Novgorod team received defender Sergey Zborovsky and a monetary compensation.

      As part of the trade, forward Nikita Artamonov and defender Andrey Salnikov moved to "Avtomobilist." In the opposite direction, Sergey Zborovsky went to the "Torpedo" system.

      Later, Zborovsky was traded to Moscow's "Dynamo," for which the "autozavodtsy" received additional monetary compensation.

      Recall that Nikita Artamonov has been part of the "Torpedo" system since 2022. Most of last season, the forward spent on loan at Nizhnekamsk's "Neftekhimik." The 20-year-old forward has a victory in the Kharlamov Cup as part of "Chaika" in 2023 and won the Russian Champion Cup with "Torpedo-Gorky" in 2025.

      Defender Andrey Salnikov joined MHK "Chaika" at the end of January and played 16 matches for the Nizhny Novgorod youth team, scoring two points (1+1).

      The club's general director, Evgeny Zabuga, noted that the three-way trade should be beneficial for all participants.

      "The players involved in the trade get the opportunity to reboot their careers, and 'Torpedo' receives a worthy monetary compensation. We thank Nikita and Andrey for their play in our Club's system and wish them further development," he stated.
