Per Igor Eronko, Rangers defense prospect Alexei Bereglazov is headed back to the KHL. Bereglazov had a KHL-out clause in his contract, so this doesn’t come as much of a surprise to me. In all honesty, I’m surprised it took him this long to head back home.

The 23-year-old defenseman’s departure clears up a bit of a logjam on the Hartford blue line, but as of now the contract does remain on the books. The Rangers have a few options, but probably want to hold his rights in case he wants to come back next year. You could see him on waivers to terminate his contract too, which also wouldn’t shock me.
