Overview

  • The KHL announced the three-year contract on Thursday, with financial terms undisclosed.
  • Carolina explored adding McLeod but later confirmed it would not sign him, with TSN’s Chris Johnston reporting the sides could not reach a comfortable agreement.
  • The NHL set a staggered return for the acquitted players, delaying signings until mid-October and game eligibility until December 1.
  • McLeod was found not guilty this year alongside four members of Canada’s 2018 World Junior team in the London, Ontario case.
  • He returns to Avangard after posting 19 points in 35 KHL regular-season games and 8 points in 9 playoff games last season split between Avangard and Barys.
