Since we’re on a good run with Blackhawks prospect content right now, let’s stay with the future of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov did an interview with Daria Tuboltseva at R.com about his season, an NHL future and moving to center. It’s a good, deep interview with a lot to take away. A couple comments that stood out to me.
The first quote that got my attention was what he said about the Blackhawks still actively recruiting him to sign:
“To be fair, Chicago has handled this well. They don’t put pressure on me. After the draft, there was more communication, they tried to convince me to sign. But at that time, I decided to stay in Russia. Now they don’t push me, and I’m happy about that. I get ice time here, and there’s no pressure. A decision will have to be made at the end of the season, maybe a bit earlier, but I don’t want to predict anything. It’s a bad omen. Athletes have their own superstitions.”
His current contract expires on June 1, 2026.
And secondly, his comments about the Blackhawks being “surprised” by him moving to center this season in the KHL.
“I told [the Blackhawks] I was being used at center, and they were a bit surprised. Later, when Evgeny Kuznetsov was signed, they assumed I would move back to the wing. But Andrei Vladimirovich didn’t want to change something that was working, so he kept me at center. Chicago was puzzled – genuinely surprised.”
Blackhawks prospect, KHL star
Kantserov, 21, currently leads the KHL with 27 goals and is tied for second in the league with 47 points (in 40 games) with with Metallurg Magnitogorsk. In the interview, he talks about watching Connor Bedard and other NHL stars, how he’s worked on his shot and the work he’s done to bulk up to be able to play center.
“There are a lot of players to learn from. I watch the NHL with real interest – McDavid, MacKinnon,” Kantserov said in an exclusive interview with R.org. “And the young guys too, like Celebrini and Bedard – they’re already at the top. It’s unfortunate that Connor got injured. But I believe age is not the most important thing. What matters is to keep working and improving. There’s always something to aim for.”
It’s a good read.
