In a move that could have significant implications for the Vancouver Canucks' future, highly touted restricted free agent forward Danila Klimovich is reportedly set to abandon his NHL aspirations and join the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL) for the upcoming season. The 22-year-old Belarusian winger had been considered a potential bright spot for the Canucks, but it appears he will instead take his talents to the KHL, where he will join a growing list of top European players who have chosen to forgo the NHL in favor of the lucrative league. Klimovich's departure would be a significant loss for the Canucks, who are already facing a number of key departures and a crowded forward depth chart. With his decision still pending, NHL fans will be eagerly watching to see if Klimovich will follow through on the expected move.
Pending Vancouver Canucks RFA forward Danila Klimovich is expected to sign in the KHL for next season.
