Yashin to Return to Isles???

The Isles saved about $13 million when Charles Wang bought out the 4 remaining years of Alexei Yashin's contract last year. WHY would they even consider letting him back into the club?! Yash wants to return but will continue in Russia if turned down by the Isles. GM Garth Snow and owner Wang roll their eyes at Yash's asking price, but DO the Isles need him after an abysmal season, ending up the 29th team outta 30 in scoring??
