Selected with the eighth overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft, the center never quite lived up to expectations after logging 65 points in his lone OHL season. Having officially retired from the NHL, the 26-year-old is now eligible to suit up for the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the 2018 Winter Olympics in February.

Alex Burmistrov: Retiring from NHL
Alexander Burmistrov will retire from the NHL, agent Dan Milstein announced Sunday.Burmistrov had been a frequent scratch for much of the season, but had seen action in six of the Canucks' previous seven outings. While no official announcement has come from the team yet, one has to wonder if the club was planning on placing the center on waivers for the purpose of reassignment. Selected with the eighth overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, the 26-year-old racked up 37 goals and 64 helpers in 348 NHL games. It seems likely the Russian will return to the KHL, where he previously played parts of three seasons and could be eligible for the 2018 Winter Olympics once he is no longer under contract with Vancouver.

Canucks' Alex Burmistrov: Forced into action
Alexander Burmistrov has appeared in four straight outings for the Vancouver Canucks.Burmistrov spent much of November watching from the press box as a healthy scratch, but a bevy of injuries -- including Bo Horvat (leg) and Brandon Sutter (undisclosed) -- have opened the door for him to get an opportunity. In those four matchups, the center registered one goal, one shot and a minus-6 rating.

Canucks' Alex Burmistrov: Emerges from press box
Alexander Burmistrov will tag into the lineup against the Sharks on Saturday, Brendan Batchelor of Sportsnet 650 reports.Burmistrov has been making the most out of his limited ice time this season, adding one goal and four assists despite averaging 12:11 over 14 games. On the downside, the Vancouver Canucks have taken away his power-play opportunities and that's a serious drawback to streaming him as a low-end flier in daily fantasy contests.

Canucks' Alex Burmistrov: Two points Tuesday
Alex Burmistrov scored a goal and dished out a power-play assist in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Ottawa.Burmistrov played a part in each of his team's first two goals, assisting on Brock Boeser's power-play tally late in the first period before potting his first goal of the season late in the second. The eighth overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft will turn 26 this Saturday, so he still has time to turn around what has been a disappointing career so far.

Canucks' Alex Burmistrov: Pens contract with Vancouver
Alex Burmistrov signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, TSN reports.Flush with cap space, Canucks GM Jim Benning made Burmistrov his fifth signing of the day; he's also reeled in forward Sam Gagner, defensemen Patrick Wiercioch and Michael Del Zotto, and netminder Anders Nilsson. The rapid ascension of Mark Scheifele made Burmistrov expendable, so he was traded to Arizona last season and picked up 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 26 games. Still, he's been on a downward spiral ever since recording career highs in goals (13), assists (15) and a plus-4 rating with Winnipeg in 2011-12.

Coyotes' Alex Burmistrov: Finishing season on high note
Alex Burmistrov picked up an assist and plus-1 rating in Tuesday's game against the Stars.Burmistrov has managed three goals and an assist over his past three outings. The three-game point streak is actually a season high, so that tells you a little bit about how his 2016-17 campaign has been going. However, he's worth a look as a low-cost DFS option in the two remaining regular-season contests.

Coyotes' Alex Burmistrov: Lights lamp twice in Friday's win
Alex Burmistrov scored two goals with a plus-1 rating in Friday's 6-3 victory against the Capitals.Burmistrov entered with just one goal through his first 44 games with the Jets and Arizona Coyotes, so this performance isn't likely to move the needle for most fantasy owners. It's too late in the game to consider adding Burmistrov, although he isn't a bad DFS sleeper since he has four points over the past six outings.

Coyotes' Alex Burmistrov: Likely playing Monday
Alex Burmistrov (upper body) is expected to rejoin the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Blues, the team's official site reports.Burmistrov last played in late February, but appears to be potentially ending his streak of absences as soon as Monday. The 25-year-old winger was surprisingly productive in an expanded role since joining the Arizona Coyotes, notching nine points in 19 games. While he likely remains out of consideration in most season-long fantasy leagues, Burmistrov remains a possible value play in daily lineups if healthy.
