Evgeny Kuznetsov clears waivers

Not so shocking news, according to insider Elliotte Friedman, it was announced that Evgeny Kuznetsov has cleared waivers and will be assigned to the Hershey Bears, the Capitals' AHL team.

Kuznetsov carries a 8M cap hit, making it hard for teams to add him to their core despite his ridiculous talent.

Hopefully he regains his form and finds his game, returning to the player he once was.
