Clark reports. Kantserov&#8217;s current team, Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL, announced on Friday that it had terminated his contract, clearing the way for him to start his NHL career. Kantserov was selected 44th by the Blackhawks in the 2023 draft. He had a spectacular KHL campaign with Metallurg in 2025-26, scoring 64 points (36 goals, 28 assists) in 63 games. Kantserov finished the regular season ninth in points and led the league in goals. It remains to be seen how well Kantserov&#8217;s game translates to the NHL, but he has the potential to make an immediate impact with the Blackhawks next season.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/meiejames\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Taavi Pailk<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nhl\/story\/_\/id\/48712270\/blackhawks-getting-top-prospect-roman-kantserov-khl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ryan S.
