Bruins' Alexander Khokhlachev: Future with B's uncertain?

Khokhlachev's agent hasn't ruled out the possibility that his client could return to Russia after this season, CSN New England reports.

Khokhlachev, whose entry-level contract with Boston is set to expire after the current campaign, has at times been frustrated with the way the Bruins have handled him. The 22-year-old forward has certainly produced at the AHL level, having recorded 66 points in 57 games with Providence this season, but to date, he hasn't made a splash in limited duty with the big club (zero points in nine NHL contests). With Khokhlachev slated to become a restricted free agent this offseason, we suspect that he'll weigh all his options, but a potential return to the B's might hinge on a possible coaching change, given the report's suggestion that Khokhlachev isn't pleased by the lack of opportunities presented to him by (current bench boss) Claude Julien.
