This season “Torpedo” After nine KHL regular season matches, with 15 points, it ranks second in the Western Conference standings, just behind Dynamo Moscow, who played one more match (16 points). Since May 2022, the Nizhny Novgorod team has been led by Igor Larionov. Last season, Torpedo reached the second round of the Gagarin Cup.
— Every off-season, everyone tries to take away Torpedo, where there are many interesting players. Or do you have a policy that if certain hockey players are retired, you will look for new ones?
— You know, the search for promising newcomers is a problematic subject. Either you have to buy them, and not at a low price, and we don’t always have the means to afford it. Or you need to dig deeper into scouting and look at things that everyone at other clubs isn’t paying attention to.
That’s how you find guys. But there are risks here – whether they play or not. However, we work by trial and error, trying to bring young players to a new level with the help of the work of coaches and their confidence,” Kharlamov told .
