Kaigorodov was promoted to replace Andrei Razin, one of Super League’s most renowned passers, on the line with Alexander Golts after Razin left for Dynamo Moscow. Another consideration that carries a lot of weight is that the team that he plays for is Metallurg Magnitogorsk – one of the deepest teams in the Super League and last year’s champion. The promotion was a very significant step in Kaigorodov’s career. He took an even bigger step on his own when he actually succeeded in the role.
2006-07: Made North America debut by starting the season with the Ottawa Senators before he was sent down the AHL. He refused assignment to Binghampton and returned to Russia. He continued his play with Metallurg Magnitogorsk. He was obtained from the Senators in exchange for Mike Comrie. He was suspended for the rest of the season.
