Aleksandr Kisakov
The former second round pick is signed through the 2024-25 season and he is one of the prospects most Buffalo Sabres fans are excited to watch. While slim, Kisakov is one of the most creative players you will find on the ice and he is especially dangerous with the puck in the neutral zone.
Agility and speed define the smallish forward’s game, and it is something you will see on full display when he takes the ice in the AHL. You can also expect Kisakov to show off his scoring skills with the Amerks, assuming he is in Rochester next season, perhaps building off his 2021-22 MHL campaign in which he scored 56 times (26 goals) in 51 outings.
Look for Kisakov to threaten to hold a spot on the top scoring line in Rochester in time. And it’s not so farfetched to see him in the blue and gold sooner than later.
