russian striker Klim Kostin happy to have signed with “Detroit” said Alexander Chernykh, a well-known hockey agent of “RB Sport”.
Previously “Edmonton” traded Kostin’s rights to Detroit. The agreement with the 24-year-old hockey player is for two years. The striker’s salary will be $2 million.
– Klim longs to play in the NHL, for so many years he aspired to play in this league. He is very happy to have been traded to Detroit and to have signed a two-year contract with the club. Klim hopes to justify the confidence and become one of the leaders of the team, says Chernykh.
– You and Kostin himself were surprised that Edmonton traded him to Detroit?
There is nothing surprising in this exchange. When a hockey player negotiates with a club, he has certain financial needs. If they can’t meet them and there’s no extra money under the salary cap, then it’s easier to trade the player. This is done in North American and Russian clubs. Edmonton couldn’t give Klim the contract he wanted.
Last season of the NHL regular season, Kostin scored 21 (11+10) points in 57 games. In the playoffs, the Russian scored 5 (3+2) points in 12 games.
