Kantserov is expected to join the Hawks after the current season. If his KHL team doesn't make a long playoff run, the player could even come over to North America at the end of the current season, as we saw last spring with Montreal Canadiens' and Carolina Hurricanes' Alexander Nikishin.
It'll be interesting to see him join fellow countryman Artyom Levshunov in Chicago and see him build chemistry with his other talented teammates.
Foreseen as a potential candidate to eventually play on a line with Connor Bedard, he could end up being a massive part of the organization's long-term plans to bring back the Stanley Cup to Chicago.
