Per a report out of Russia, Bruins prospect and lightning rod for hot takes, Alexander Khokhalchev has re-signed with the Spartak Moscow of the KHL for an additional year. Many, including Elliotte Friedman thought he would potentially return to America to play under his former Coach Bruce Cassidy as the two reportedly have a strong relationship.
The 24 year old Russian forward was a constant source of consternation among Bruins fans and brass alike during his years in the Bruins farm system, at times publicly complaining about a lack of NHL playing time despite being a prolific scorer in the AHL.
