It looks like Evgenii Dadonov is heading home once again. Reports out of Russia suggest he’s headed back to the KHL next season and will be joining his former club, Traktor Chelyabinsk.

Last year with the New Jersey Devils never really took off. Dadonov bounced in and out of the lineup, played just 24 games, and finished with one goal. At 37, the chances just weren’t really there anymore, and the offence that once made him a useful top-six piece has faded a bit. A return to Russia makes sense at this point.

He was a much more consistent player in the KHL before coming back to the NHL, winning two Gagarin Cups with SKA Saint Petersburg and playing a big offensive role there. That’s probably closer to what he’s going to get again if he goes back now, rather than chasing depth minutes in North America.

If this is it, his NHL run still lasted a long time. Dadonov ends up with 641 games and 362 points across stops in Florida, Ottawa, Vegas, Montreal, Dallas, and New Jersey. Not a superstar career, but a pretty solid one that stretched over a decade and took him through a lot of different situations.
