KHL contract terminated
Kuznetsov and KHL club SKA St. Petersburg have mutually agreed to terminate his contract, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Kuznetsov was in the first year of a four-year deal he signed with the Russian club back in July. In 39 appearances for SKA this year, the 32-year-old center registered 12 goals and 25 helpers before adding another three points in six postseason contests. This could open the door for Kuznetsov to make his NHL return next year -- though it's far from a lock that he finds a new NHL club.

For now, Kuznetsov is projected to be the Capitals' No. 1 center, but he has an active trade request. The center put up a solid 55 points in 81 games last season, despite his 7.0 shooting percentage being the lowest mark of his career. It's clear the center could use a change of scenery -- he's still got the talent to be a top-six center, though he is into the back half of his career at this point. The Capitals don't have to make a move since he has two years left on his deal, and Kuznetsov has a 10-team no-trade list, so he can influence his destination. With Washington unwilling to go fully into a rebuild, Kuznetsov probably isn't getting traded before this season's deadline at the earliest, though he should be in line for a bounce-back campaign to impress potential suitors.
