Moving overseas
Pakarinen has signed with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the KHL, Finnish news site Iltalehti reports.
ANALYSIS
Pakarinen, who recently completed his fourth season in the Oilers organization, will look to revitalize his career in what is widely considered to be the second-best league in the world. Once a 20-goal scorer in his native Finland and a reliable offensive player at the AHL level, Pakarinen logged just two goals and a single assist in 40 contests with Edmonton in 2017-18.

A tough winger who isn't afraid to throw his body around, Pakarinen had his 2016-17 campaign cut short by a leg injury suffered in the preseason, which limited him to 19 total games (14 in the NHL). At 26 years old, the Finn is running out of time to establish himself as an NHL regular, and while he earned a one-year contract extension this offseason, he faces an uphill struggle for bottom-six minutes with the Oilers; that may result in him racking up plenty of airline miles between Edmonton and its AHL affiliate in Bakersfield in 2017-18. When in the lineup, he may be a decent source of hits, but that’s about all that fantasy owners can expect of him.
