Currie inked a one-year deal with KHL side Metallurg Magnitogorsk on Friday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Currie appeared in just one game for the Penguins this year in which he logged 7:24 of ice time and didn't accrue any significant stats. Undrafted coming out of the QMJHL, the 28-year-old winger started his career in the Oilers system before signing with Pittsburgh this past season on a one-year deal. While it's not impossible, the move overseas could mark the end of Currie's NHL career, which would see him eventually retire with five points in 22 games.

Currie was recalled to the taxi squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Brandon Tanev (upper body) going on injured reserve, the Penguins needed to add to the taxi squad per NHL rules. Fantasy players shouldn't expect Currie to see any action during his stint with the big club.

Currie was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Currie was up on the taxi squad as an emergency option for Thursday's game against the Sabres. The 28-year-old winger could be added back to the active roster before puck drop against Buffalo on Saturday but fantasy players shouldn't expect him to get onto the ice.
