Signed a two-year contract with AK Bars Kazan (KHL) in May of 2019.
Secures two-year deal
Ozhiganov, as expected, signed a two-year contract with AK Bars Kazan (KHL) on Friday, Chris Johnston of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
Ozhiganov's return to Russia was already in the works, though where the blueliner was going to play was still up in the air. Set to be a restricted free agent this summer, the Maple Leafs will almost certainly extend him a qualifying offer in order to retain his NHL rights. At just 26 years of age, it's certainly not out of the question for Ozhiganov to make his way back to the NHL at some point down the road.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Ozhiganov secured a roster spot as the Leafs' sixth defenseman heading into the 2018-19 season. He produced nine points (two goals, seven assists) over 47 games -- including the playoffs -- with CSKA Moscow in 2017-18. He's an imposing figure from the back line, but know that stay-at-home defensemen rarely bear fruit in the fantasy realm.
