I can imagine him returning to the NHL in a few years. His health issues would have derailed any hope at all of him being able to adapt to the North American game. A couple seasons back in his comfort zone in the KHL & I'm sure he'll build enough momentum to push for a consistent NHL job (if he wants it).

Shame we couldn't combine Cervenka's hockey sense & hands with Olli Jokinen's physical tools, skating & occasional compete level. That would be one helluva hockey player.
