Agent Alexander Chernykh, representing the interests of San Jose Sharks forward Klim Kostin, assessed the hockey player’s performance in the current season of the National Hockey League (NHL).
The 25-year-old Russian was traded to San Jose from the Detroit Red Wings during the season. For the new club, he played 19 matches and scored 10 (5+5) points with a utility indicator of “-10”.
— We haven’t discussed the season with Klim yet and I can’t say how satisfied he is. The main thing is that he plays in San Jose, then we will make a decision – to remain in this team or look for a trade. Last season he played well in Edmonton, but this year he scored fewer points. Maybe in San Jose it will unfold differently. Maybe everything is going for the better, time will tell.
— Does Kostin lack coaching confidence?
“It is necessary for the coach to trust and for the partners to understand each other. It happens that a player sees himself in one role, and a coach sees himself in a completely different way. “Everything must coincide,” RB Sport quotes Chernykh.
