Reports out of Russia over the weekend suggest that Colorado Avalanche forward Vladislav Kamenev is expected to sign with SKA St. Peterburg to play in the KHL next season. The 24-year old is set to be a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the NHL playoffs.
The rumor is currently being denied by both Kamenev’s agent and the Avalanche. That said, all reports out of Russia indicate that the move is set to happen before the start of the 2020-21 season. It would make sense for the Avs to deny any defection until the conclusion of the season.
