Spurns NHL offer
Slepyshev signed a two-year contract extension with CSKA Moscow on Thursday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reports.
ANALYSIS
Previous reports indicated the Oilers had made an offer to Slepyshev in the hope of convincing him to return to North America, but it appears the 25-year-old winger is content to stay in the KHL. While there is always a chance, this likely will close the door on the Russian ever making his way back to the NHL, though Edmonton will continue to hold his rights should he be tempted to make the move.

Despite increased expectations heading into the 2017-18 campaign, Slepyshev barely logged any additional games (50) and managed just two more points than the previous year. Selected in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft, the Russian winger was highly regarded for his size, speed and hands, but thus far has failed to impress team brass. Given his disappointing first two season -- when compared to expectations -- the 24-year-old restricted free agent will likely be handed a short-term "prove it" deal ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, although fantasy owners will want to be weary of the potential for him to opt for a return to the KHL.
