Leino signed with Medvescak Zagreb of the KHL on Sunday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Leino was released by the Bruins in late September, which led to the expectation that he would sign overseas. It's possible he could again receive some NHL interest with a strong showing, but it's also possible he stays in Europe for good.

Not much has gone right for Leino since signing a six-year, $27 million deal as a free agent in 2011. After struggling mightily in his first season with the Sabres, he was riddled with injuries last season and played in just eight games, recording six points. After being miscast as a pivot for much of his time in Buffalo, there should be an opportunity to grab a scoring line role on the wing with the departure of Jason Pominville. Given the dearth of offensive options in Buffalo, he should have a rebound season with a reasonable projection of 35-40 points.
