Hockey agent Kirill Knyazev says Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Koucherov – an example of talent and efficiency.
On Wednesday, Tampa defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 in an NHL regular season game. Kucherov scored an assist-filled hat-trick and became the first Russian in NHL history to reach 130 points in a regular season.
— Kucherov is a beast in every way. Indeed, he made himself. It is an example of talent and efficiency, of great desire and fanaticism. That’s the kind of hockey player you can get if you combine all those qualities.
Do you live for hockey? Yes, but you can do it in different ways – right or wrong. If a player maintains a high level and continues to improve, this indicates good preparation. This also involves work on yourself, psychology and many other little things. Kucherov is a leader, he is an important mechanism of the team. What’s behind that? His work on himself, he continues to maintain a high level. It’s very difficult.
I think Kucherov is one of the best active players in the world. Tampa is one of the contenders for the Stanley Cup. But no matter how phenomenal Kucherov’s game is, not everything depends on him, Knyazev told Metaratings.ru.
Kucherov is a two-time Stanley Cup winner and two-time World Championship bronze medalist.
