‘Buffalo drafted six Russians in the 2021 and the 2022 drafts. Last season we got our first look at one of them in Aleksandr Kisakov. He’s a talented but small kid that needs to gain quite a bit more strength to be able to play in the NHL. You could even see it in this camp, he couldn’t compete in battles, but if you get him in open ice, he’s very creative offensively. Having spent one year in Rochester should help him improve this year.’
