The Carolina Hurricanes have made the decision to put Evgeny Kuznetsov on unconditional waivers with the intention of terminating his contract. This move marks the end of Kuznetsov's tumultuous NHL career, characterized by both talent and inconsistency.
Kuznetsov, who was in the final season of a seven-year deal signed in 2017, was still owed $6 million of his $8 million salary. The Hurricanes' general manager, Eric Tulsky, stated that both parties agreed that terminating the contract was the best course of action for the player and the team.
