KHL contract terminated Kuznetsov and KHL club SKA St. Petersburg mutually agreed to terminate his contract, Sammi Silber of The Hockey News reports Tuesday.

Impact 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.

Getting contract terminated Kuznetsov was put on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract, the Hurricanes announced Wednesday.

Impact Kuznetsov had one season remaining on his eight-year, $62.4 million contract. When an NHL agreement is mutually terminated rather than bought out, the remaining cap hit and salary are erased from the books, which will save each of Carolina and Washington $3.9 million for the 2024-25 campaign. Kuznetsov struggled in 2023-24, finishing the regular season with eight goals and 24 points across 63 contests. He's likely to join the KHL's SKA St. Petersburg.
