EDGE Analysis

Anisimov was in training camp with the Avalanche on a professional tryout agreement but was unable to earn a permanent deal from the club. Instead, the 33-year-old will return to the KHL for the first time since 2012-13 when he garnered 29 points in 36 games for Yaroslavl Lokomotiv. At this point, this will likely mark the end of Anisimov's time in the NHL, which would see him eventually retire having played in 771 games for the Rangers, Blue Jackets, Blackhawks and Senators. In those outings, Anisimov generated 180 goals, 196 assists and 1380 shots while averaging 15:58 of ice time.
