EDGE Analysis

In early September, after serving a 60 day sentence for pleading no contest to domestic violence charges, Voynov was placed in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's custody. Today, he has notified the Kings, NHL, and NHL Players' Association that he plans on beginning the formal process of returning to Russia. The Kings also announced they will terminate Voynov's contract. Obviously, any hope for fantasy relevance to be held on to is no longer in play.

Voynov falls under Priority 2(b), which covers those "convicted of a 'significant misdemeanor.'" He's a Russian citizen and will stand before an immigration judge.

He may be forced to leave the country and reapply for a visa, but there is no clear answer to the situation right now.

Voynov, who had his trial for domestic battery charges pushed back to early June, recently underwent surgery for a torn Achilles tendon, the LA Kings Insider reports.
