In a surprise move that's sending shockwaves through the NHL community, Russian forward Evgeny Kuznetsov has announced he'll be staying in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old center had been a key player for the Washington Capitals, helping the team win the Stanley Cup in 2018. Kuznetsov's decision to remain in the KHL raises questions about his future in the NHL, and whether he'll ever return to the league that made him a household name. The move also has implications for the Capitals, who will need to find another scoring threat to fill the void left by Kuznetsov's departure.
