Evgeny Svechnikov: Signs in Russia
Svechnikov signed a two-year contract with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL on Friday.

A first-round pick (19th overall) in the 2015 Draft, Svechnikov had a disappointing NHL career with 20 goals and 25 assists in 172 games, culminating last season with a career-best eight goals in 59 games with the Sharks.
