According to "Championat", forward Evgeny Kuznetsov will return to Russia and sign a contract with SKA. The term of the agreement is 4 years.
Kuznetsoz has played in 743 games in the NHL and was a major piece when he won the Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals in 2018. He accumulated 173 goals and 402 assists over his tenure.
Last season he was traded to the Hurricanes where he scored 8 goals and 16 assists for 24 points in 63 games.
He surely will be missed in the NHL.
