08:27 AM ET 08.17 | Last seen in the NHL during the 2010-11 season, Alex Kovalev may be on the verge of resurfacing. [Kovalev], who turns 40 in February, aims to return to the NHL and says he has a couple of tryout offers. The Russian spent last season in the KHL with Atlant Mytischi but played only 22 games because of injuries. Once an offensive star in the NHL, Kovalev managed only one goal and five assists. The winger was in Switzerland this week training with the Servette Geneva team. Kovalev said he plans to go to the U.S. to work out but did not identify the teams offering tryouts. Kovalev has 428 goals and 596 assists in 1,302 regular-season games with the New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins, Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators.

One goal in 22 games in the KHL, that is certainly reason to think you can come back and play in the NHL.
I wish they hadn't used that picture, showing him in a Penguin sweater makes me a little nervous. Shero wouldn't make him an offer would he?

Gordie Howe in his 50's was better than a lot of players today.

Dallas seems like they are picking up anyone over 38.....so Kovalev would fit in there quite well

It did say he was injured last year so the Prince of Irkness is probably interested.

With how lazy and disinterested he was during his stint in Ottawa I doubt a team is willing to give him much of anything to play for them.
