Agent Shumi Babaev, representing the interests of the attacker “Columbus » Egor Chinakhov noted that the Russian began to spend a lot of time on the ice.
Chinakov, 22, played 22 regular NHL games for the team this season, in which he scored 14 (8+6) points.
– Chinakhov is fine. Egor slowly walked towards it, the coach’s confidence appeared – this is precisely what we are talking about. He began to spend a lot of time on the ice and the result immediately became apparent. One depends on the other.
— Not so long ago, you said that Chinakhov wanted to leave Columbus because he didn’t have confidence. Has the situation changed now?
— A person thinks of an exchange when something does not suit him. But when there is total trust and we play a lot, the atmosphere is different. Of course, Egor is now positive. I hope everything continues like this.
— Does Columbus’ game depend largely on the Russians?
“It’s good we gave the guys a chance.” They understand each other and fight for the team. It always happens like this: at one time some people are hanging around, and at another time others are hanging around. Therefore, you cannot focus on anyone. The whole team must show results,” Babaev said, as quoted by RB Sport.
