from Randy Sportak of the Calgary Sun,
Reports Calgary Flames forward Marcus Nilson has signed to play with CSKA Moscow are “not correct,” according to his agent.
However, J.P. Barry said he and the two clubs are trying to work out a way for Nilson to play in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.
“We’re exploring the possibility of him playing there,” Barry said yesterday. “We were hoping to do it quietly.”...
The Flames could have bought Nilson out of the final year of his two-year, US$2-million contract, but decided not to exercise that option. GM Darryl Sutter said the veterans would have to earn roster spots this season.
Still, it appears Nilson isn’t in the team’s plans, which is why Barry and the Flames are negotiating.
