Former Avalanche Star Breaks KHL Deal for NHL Comeback Push

A former Avalanche All-Star is making a pretty direct play to get back to the NHL, and that usually means the market is starting to warm up behind the scenes. He has terminated his KHL deal, which is the kind of move that tells you he is not just sightseeing overseas anymore. For teams that still believe there is gas left in the tank, this becomes a low-risk, high-drama audition with a little more intrigue than your standard summer rumor mill.
