July 4, 2018
Antipin finalized the terms of a three-year contract with Magnitogorsk Metallurg (KHL) on Monday.
ANALYSIS
After initial reports Antipin would link up with a KHL club, there was some thought he might stay in the NHL with another team after not receiving a qualifying offer from the Sabres. However, the Russian will return to his homeland rather than bounce around an NHL team's system, where he would likely have split time between the AHL and NHL.

2017 Fantasy Outlook
Signed to a one-year deal after leading all KHL defensemen in goals during the playoffs, Antipin is a two-time champion in Russia and a three-time World Championship medalist who's known as a two-way defenseman with solid puck skills. That said, he recorded a relatively modest career high of 24 points in 59 regular-season games for Magnitogorsk Metallurg last year. At 24 years old, Antipin comes to the NHL as a polished player, although he'll still need to adjust to the smaller ice surface and faster speeds. The Sabres' blue line has been revamped, which means Antipin will have to earn a roster spot with his play, but he certainly has the ability to be a second-pairing defenseman and a power-play quarterback
