Steve Moses is a Boston kid who has crafted a successful career playing hockey for two of the top clubs in Finland and Russia. He’s led the KHL in goals, played for a league champion and won a bronze medal at the world championships with the United States.



In recent years, Moses has played with and against all of the elite players who were groomed in the KHL before coming to North America or were stars on this side of pond before returning home. He does not flinch when discussing new Devils mystery man Nikita Gusev.



“I don’t know how much fans will watch the world championships but ‘Goose’ was playing with (Nikita) Kucherov, who is one of his best buddies, and I mean, their offensive IQ is very close to the same,” Moses said. “He’s at that level. Am I saying that he’s going to be Kucherov? No, but I’m also saying that he’s not far off. I wouldn’t be shocked if he was scoring 100 points in the NHL.
