Is he off the coke and ready to bring it again

 

[That Habs Fan]

Uhoh...Montreal needs a 2C, Demidov just signed... Montreal nightlife + Evgeny Kuznetsov

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

bring Kovy and yourself back to the NHL for some magic

 

[Prettyisland]

Would be diabolically hilarious if he signs a one year with mtl.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Following Demi to MTL lmao. First round matchup with WSH

 

[BonMorrison]

He's not eligible to play in the playoffs.

 

[Garbageyuk]

He's not eligible to play in the playoffs.

Oh yeah lmao. Got ahead of myself

 

[ViD]

I think he might be done with hockey

 

[Prettyisland]

He's not eligible to play in the playoffs.

As a UFA Kuznetsov could sign a NHL contract to play the remainder of this regular season. But he would not be playoff eligible as he wasn’t on a team’s Reserve List at the trade deadline.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Would he be interested in a return to the NHL?

He'd have to go through waivers though right?

 

[BB79]

He's coming back to the NHL to try to catch Ovi's goal record

 

[Canovin]

Probably with the Oilers

 

[Zats Muccarello]

It’s a shame he won’t be playoff eligible, could’ve been a great storyline

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll guess montreal

He played in Europe after Dec 15th, so yup would have to go through waivers.

 

[Laus723]

Panthers need centers. Well, we need players in general lol.

 

[M Ace]

He has Edmonton Oilers written all over him;

- 30+ years
- Problems in the past
- Proven playoff preformer back in the days

Mark my word!

 

[Zine]

A little bit underwhelming in the KHL relative to what was expected.
I’m thinking he might retire.

 

[Chileiceman]

This could be like the Nabakov situation all those years ago where he signed for Detroit and got claimed by the Islanders because he had to go through waivers.

My man isn't just agreeing to terminate a 4 year deal to retire after putting up nearly a ppg in the KHL, unless the "mutual" part of this wasn't so mutual. I'm thinking he wants another crack at the NHL.
