I noted the possibility here last week, and of course Perezhogin's agent denied the rumors, but Alexander Perezhogin has in fact signed to play in the Russian League.

Alexander Ovechkin was ejected from yesterday's IIHF game against Switzerland for  a high hit on a Swiss player. He has been suspended for one additional contest, and the board will be reviewing it on Monday to determine whether further suspension is warranted.  Tuuka Rask signed a three-year entry level deal with the Bruins yesterday. Expect a [...]
