28-year-old forward eyeing a return to the NHL!

French forward Stephane Da Costa has been playing in the KHL for the past three seasons, but it appears his time in Russia is over. CSKA Moscow has made it very clear that the 28-year-old will not be back with the team. This definitely made him consider making a return in the NHL, and it looks like he had talks with some teams.

KHL insider Aivis Kalnins believes there were talks with the Montreal Canadiens, but according to him, Da Costa may very well end up with the Vegas Golden Knights:

CSKA Moscow has shut the door on DaCosta's potential return to the team, NHL looks more and more likely the direction.

Not sure where it stands right now with Montreal but they have talked, Vegas appears to be a team that has interest in DaCosta as well.
