Agent Alexander Chernykh, representing the interests of the New York Rangers forward Artemy Panarina spoke about the hockey player’s motivation before the start of the current NHL season.
The Russian forward scored 15 (5+10) points in 9 regular season matches.
— At one time, Artemy Panarin played in Chicago with Patrick Kane. When the American left the team, I was asked the question: “Now Panarin will not be seen without Kane?” I said, “Kane is going to regret this.” Even though they have always been comfortable playing, they are friends. Kane was even a little offended by these comments. Even then it was clear that Panarin was a master with a capital M, and if he had good partners, then he showed great hockey. Therefore, the way Artemy started the season does not surprise me at all.
— Experts say that the defeat in the last playoffs greatly motivated Panarin and that he prepared very seriously during the offseason.
— Players of this rank always have high goals. If a person is a professional, they have the appropriate training. Even in Chicago, they said he came before everyone else and left later than everyone else. Artemy understands that to achieve these goals you need to work hard. Professionals with a capital “P” like Panarin, Kovalchuk, Radulov, know that you cannot win on name and skills alone and that you need to prepare,” the RB Sport agent quotes.
