Kayumov, a left wing, has posted career-high numbers in his third KHL season with nine goals and 15 points while averaging 15:38 minutes in 40 KHL games. The Russian leads the league in goals among all under-22 players.
Kayumov’s first contract with Lokomotiv was set to expire April 30, 2020, when he could’ve signed with the Blackhawks. He’ll be 24 years old when he’ll be a free agent again.
The Blackhawks selected Kayumov with the second round (50th overall) in the 2016 NHL draft with one of the two draft picks acquired in the Teuvo Teravainen trade with the Hurricanes on June 15, 2016.
