It’s been a bit of a whirlwind day for anyone following the ongoing saga of Evgeny Kuznetsov and the Washington Capitals – a partnership that appears to be coming to an end.
Earlier this morning, it was announced that Kuznetsov had been cleared to return to, and practice with, the team after spending the last month in the NHLPA’s player assistance program.
But then, this update:
Kuznetsov’s tenure with the Capitals has been one filled with ups and downs since he was drafted by the organization back in 2010. Just getting him over to the United States was never a certainty, as he spent a few years in the KHL first and at times seemed unwilling to make the jump.
