Luke Johnson Backs Kantserov and Nabokov for NHL Success
Metallurg forward Luke Johnson predicts Roman Kantserov will crack Chicago's line-up quickly, while goaltender Ilya Nabokov needs more time to break through at Colorado.
Luke Johnson has backed both Roman Kantserov and Ilya Nabokov to make it in the NHL, though he expects the forward to settle in quicker than the goaltender.
Kantserov and Nabokov were team-mates at Metallurg before their moves. By all accounts, Johnson rates the forward's chances of cracking Chicago's line-up straight away above the goaltender's prospects of an immediate breakthrough at Colorado, while still backing Nabokov's long-term future in the league.
