Blackhawks 19-year old Russian rocket is lighting up the KHL

The discussion led to Roman Kantserov, a 5-foot-9, 176-pound right winger from Russia. Kantserov was first brought to Davidson's attention by Russian scout Anatoly Semenov. Normally, the Blackhawks would send a few scouts to watch a player like Kantserov in person, but because of the restrictions on entering Russia, Davidson and his staff had to mostly rely on video. They watched a lot, and it kept confirming he was a legit high-end NHL prospect. His quick hands, creativity and speed jumped out on the offensive end. But he also showed defensive awareness and used his positive traits in the other zones.
