BUFFALO-- Dallas Stars forward Valeri Nichushkin could return to the NHL next season after playing this season in the Kontinental Hockey League.
Stars director of amateur scouting Joe McDonnell told NHL.com on Friday at the NHL Scouting Combine that it will be up to Nichushkin.
"He's in Russia now and it's 50-50 on whether we get him back next season," McDonnell said. "In the end it'll be up to him if he wants to come back."
