Following his assignment to the AHL, Semin will attempt to find a job in Europe.
According to Renaud Lavoie, Alex Semin will be pursuing overseas options, in the goal of finding a contract with a KHL team.
Alexander Semin goal right now is to find a team in the KHL in the next few days. Not sure now he'll report to the IceCaps. Could change.
