Devils willing to facilitate his return.

Keep in mind he is now 34, his best years are behind him. Kovie is just looking for more $$ since the 'collapse' of the ruble a couple years ago.

Currently (approximately); 1 USD = 60 RUB
When signed KHL contract; 1USD = 35 RUB

Meaning his KHL contract lost almost 40% in value with respect to the USD.
