Indeed, it has been confirmed that the former member of the Washington Capitals and Carolina Hurricanes joined St. Petersburg SKA in the KHL.
A new report shed light on his deal, and an interesting detail emerged about his salary.
Kuznetsov signed a four-year contract valued at 92 million rubles, and he plays under number 92. This has often been seen in the NHL, like when Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins did with his 8.7 million deal.
At the end of his contract, he will be 36 years old. If he remains healthy, he could very well play much longer, and even attempt a return to North America.
