Alexander Gennadevich Mogilny (Russian: Александр Геннадиевич Могильный; born 18 February 1969) is a Russian former professional ice hockey player and the current president of Amur Khabarovsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). Known for his explosive high-end skating, skill, and sniper's touch, he was the first National Hockey League (NHL) draftee to defect from the Soviet Union in order to play in North America. Drafted 89th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1988 NHL entry draft, Mogilny played 16 seasons National Hockey League (NHL) for the Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, New Jersey Devils, and Toronto Maple Leafs between 1989 and 2005. During his time with Buffalo, he became the first Russian in NHL history to serve as captain, earn a selection to the NHL All-Star team, and lead the league in goals — accomplishing the latter in the 1992–93 season with 76, making him one of only seven players ever to score more than 70 in a single season.
