Evgeny Kuznetsov cleared unconditional waivers on Thursday and his contract was officially terminated with the Hurricanes.
The news came as little surprise after reports had emerged earlier this week that the former Canes and Capitals center was planning to go to play in KHL this upcoming season.
The Hurricanes announced on Wednesday that the two sides had agreed to part ways, which gives Carolina $13.8 million in cap space following his removal and means he walks away from the remaining $6 million of salary that he is owed.“Ultimately both sides agreed this was the best course of action for both the player and the team,” general manager Eric Tulsky said in a statement Wednesday. “We thank Evgeny for his time with the team and wish him and his family the best.
He entered the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program in February and was traded after he came out of it. Kuznetsov recorded 13 points in 30 games with the Canes this season and has 206 goals and 442 assists over the course of his NHL career.See All ColumnistsWhat would this Jets summer look like if Aaron Rodgers hadn't gotten hurt?
