Gurianov inked a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow on Thursday, Daria Tuboltseva of RG.org reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov played in only 18 regular-season games in 2023-24, split between Nashville and Philadelphia. The 27-year-old winger had a disappointing NHL career, scoring 52 goals and adding 61 assists in 299 regular-season appearances, after he was selected in the first round -- 12th overall -- in the 2015 Draft.

Gurianov was traded to Philadelphia from Nashville in exchange for Wade Allison on Friday, per Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov will get a fresh start in Philadelphia after being a healthy scratch in 11 of his last 13 games with Nashville. Gurianov could serve as a middle-six forward for the Flyers -- he had 11 goals and 31 points in 73 appearances with Dallas during the 2021-22 campaign.

Gurianov was a healthy scratch for the third time in his last four games Saturday against the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov's star has really faded since recording a career-best 31 points with Dallas two seasons ago. He has just two points in 13 games in his first season in Nashville and spends most nights watching from the press box. Currently riding out a one-year, $850,000 contract signed back in July, it's hard to see him returning to the Preds again next season. At this point, a change of scenery is probably best for the 26-year-old winger.

Gurianov produced an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov got on the scoresheet against his former team by setting up a Thomas Novak goal in the second period. Through three NHL outings this season, Gurianov has two points, six shots on net, three hits and a plus-4 rating. He's taken on a middle-six role, though he has a lot to prove after failing to reach the 20-point mark in 2022-23.

Gurianov scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov cut Nashville's deficit to 5-3 with 45 seconds remaining in the third period, poking home a loose puck following a net-front scramble for his first goal in his second game with the Predators this season. The 26-year-old winger has averaged 13:32 of ice time through his first two contests, playing on the second line with Colton Sissons and Juuso Parssinen. Gurianov does offer some potential scoring upside -- he has 12 goals and 30 points in 27 games with AHL Milwaukee this year.

Gurianov was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Saturday, per Emma Lingan of The Hockey Writers.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov figures to serve as a depth option for Nashville prior to Saturday's matchup with Dallas. The 26-year-old winger had seven goals and 17 points in 66 games last season between the Stars and Canadiens. He has posted 12 goals and 18 assists in 27 AHL contests this year.

Gurianov was placed on waivers by Nashville on Saturday, per Chris Johnston of TSN.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov recorded seven goals and 17 points in 66 games between Dallas and Montreal in 2022-23. Unless he's selected off waivers, Gurianov will probably be reassigned to AHL Milwaukee.

Gurianov agreed to a one-year, $850,000 contract with Nashville on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov became an unrestricted free agent after the Canadiens decided not to give him a qualifying offer. He posted seven goals, 17 points and 116 shots on net in 66 games between Montreal and Dallas last season. Gurianov will provide some depth to Nashville's bottom-six forward group in 2023-24.

Gurianov won't receive a qualifying offer from the Canadiens, which will make him an unrestricted free agent Saturday, per Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov had seven goals and 17 points in 66 contests while averaging 13:12 of ice time between Dallas and Montreal in 2022-23. He's coming off a one-year, $2.9 million contract and would have required a qualifying offer of the same amount for Montreal to retain his exclusive negotiating rights.

Gurianov had a power-play assist, one shot on goal and one blocked shot over 17:27 of ice time in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Gurianov set up Nick Suzuki for a one-timer to put the Canadiens on the board late in what was a spirited and physical first period. The former Star has four goals and three assists over the last eight contests. The 25-year-old forward was one of four young Montreal forwards on the scoresheet, giving a glimpse of what next season might look like. In addition to Gurianov, Nick Suzuki (goal, assist), Kirby Dach (goal, assist) and Denis Gurianov (assist) made an impact against the NHL's best team.
