Svechnikov signed a two-year contract with Ak Bars Kazan of the KHL on Friday.
Svechnikov did not get a qualifying offer from the Sharks in the offseason and was unable to garner a new contract elsewhere in the NHL, so he will take his talents to the KHL. A first-round pick (19th overall) in the 2015 Draft, Svechnikov had a disappointing NHL career with 20 goals and 25 assists in 172 games, culminating last season with a career-best eight goals in 59 games with the Sharks.
