Nik Antropov signs with Astana Barys of KHL
TSN
News
Nik Antropov signed a two-year contract with Astana Barys of the KHL.
Forecaster Impact
Antropov becomes the latest Jet to head to Russia, following Alex Burmistrov and several others. Antropov never lived up the hype of being the 10th overall pick in 1998, but he did fashion a solid 13-season NHL career that included stops in Toronto, New York, Atlanta and Winnipeg. We're betting this is likely the last we've seen of Antropov in North America. He scored 193 goals and 465 points in 788 career NHL games.

Report: Nik Antropov heading to Russia, KHL

News
Nik Antropov is headed to the KHL and there are several clubs interested in signing him, according to Russian media outlet Sport-Express.
Forecaster Impact
There hasn't been a ton of interest in Antropov during this summer's free-agent frenzy, so it makes sense he's considering heading to the KHL. Antropov would also likely fetch a bigger pay day and a longer contract back home. The report didn't specify which teams were interested, but it sounds like Antropov's NHL days are numbered.
