Headed for KHL
Leipsic inked a two-year contract with CSKA Moscow (KHL) on Friday, Sport-Express.ru reports.
ANALYSIS
Leipsic -- who was released by the Capitals in May -- will make his first foray into European hockey. Given the circumstances surrounding his release, even a strong two years in Russia likely won't be enough for the winger to return to the NHL. He may end up finishing his professional career overseas.

A slick, undersized winger, Leipsic has posted some strong scoring totals in the AHL, but has yet to find a way to translate his skills to the next level, scoring just seven goals and 23 points in 62 games last season split between the Kings and Canucks. The 25-year-old has also had some trouble staying healthy, a situation that helps fuel the notion that he just might not be able to handle the rigors of the NHL. Leipsic is now on his fifth team in five seasons after signing a one-year deal with the Capitals this offseason, and he'll head into camp competing for a depth spot on the wing.
