Former NHLer Gets Russian Contract Terminated

A few weeks after re-signing with the KHL's Barys Astana, forward Michael Chaput has agreed to a mutual contract termination with the team:

Reports say that the contract termination was due to Chaput needing a much longer recovery time than expected from an injury.

The former NHLer was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2010 NHL Draft, and spent time with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Vancouver Canucks, Montreal Canadiens, and Arizona Coyotes.

42 Million Rubles roughly translates to $610,000 Canadian Dollars.
