Reports are saying Max will ride the press box wall tonight, but that's not the biggest story about our little crazylegs today.
From the Toronto Sun
Maxim Afinogenov likely is headed for the KHL at his earliest opportunity, a big reason the Sabres can’t move the disgruntled, one-dimensional winger this year...
A small but important report, as it would explain why he's still on a team chock full of forwards ready to produce. It may be a convenient excuse circulated by the team, but when you think about it Maxim Afinogenov is the perfect player for a fledgling league like the KHL. I say good luck to him if that's his life dream.
At this point, if he goes, he goes.
