Gardner signed a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow in July, per AHL Insider Tony Androckitis.

EDGE Analysis

Garnder notched just 18 points in 62 regular-season games for AHL Lehigh Valley last year, no doubt a factor in his not being called up from the minors by the Flyers. At this point, the 29-year-old center probably has played in his last NHL game, which would see him eventually retire having earned two points in 41 regular-season outings for the Stars and Flyers over parts of four campaigns.
