Alexander Mogilny Autographed Buffalo Sabres 16x20 Photo 76 Goals

After the medal ceremony of the 1989 World Championships in Stockholm, he left the Soviet team and defected to North America with the help of representatives of the Buffalo Sabres, the NHL club that had drafted him, 89th overall, a year earlier in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft.
Mogilny chose the number 89 in recognition of both the year he defected and his place in the draft, wearing #89 for his entire playing career. As a rookie, Mogilny produced a respectable amount of offense with 43 points in 65 games. His offensive production steadily improved over the next three years, largely credited to playing on the Sabres top line with Pat Lafontaine. He tied Teemu Selanne for the most goals scored in the 1992-93 NHL season, scoring 76 goals in 77 games. Mogilny continued to be a key component of the Sabres offense, scoring 126 points in 110 games over the next two seasons before being traded to Vancouver.
