Patrick Wiercioch: Headed for KHL
Patrick Wiercioch secured a contract with Dinamo Minsk of the KHL on Monday.Wiercioch spent the 2017-18 campaign playing with AHL Utica but never earned his way into the Canucks' lineup. The 27-year-old will get his first taste of European hockey. In his 268 NHL outings, the blueliner snagged 16 goals and 58 helpers. It seems unlikely at this point that Wiercioch will be adding to his NHL stat line in the future.

Patrick Wiercioch: Allowed to walk by Avalanche
Patrick Wiercioch wasn't extended a qualifying offer by the Avalanche, making him eligible for unrestricted free agency Saturday, The Denver Post reports.The blueliner got into 57 games last year -- his first in Colorado after spending his first five NHL seasons with Ottawa -- and recorded 12 points to go with a hideous minus-18 rating.
