Evgeny Kuznetsov has left the NHL to go overseas, but after he's not holding back about his time with the Washington Capitals and what contributed to leaving the NHL
Evgeny Kuznetsov sent shockwaves through the National Hockey League a few days ago, now it seems he's going on a press tour detailing his time in the NHL and what ultimately lead him to being in the Player Assistance Program. It's not what you think
According to Russian Machine Never Breaks and Sport- Express, Kuznetsov opens up about how he ended up in the Players Assistance Program and the medical condition that was part of it.
Kuznetsov most recently shared some time with reporter Alexey Shevchenko from Sport-Express and revealed that he was going through serious health issues during his last year in the NHL that eventually led to him entering the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance program.
�I had rheumatoid arthritis, I took pills and injections all year,' Kuznetsov said per a translation from Google Translate. �Then I stopped taking them, it felt good, nothing hurt. I haven't taken anything for three months and I feel great, I run, I work out in the gym.'

It sounds like Kuznetsov was really struggling during this past season and to make matters worse, former Washington Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan and other people in the organization weren't aware or simply just didn't care
If that is the case, it's no wonder why he was traded from the Washington Capitals and ultimately left the NHL
