Currie inked a one-year deal with the KHL's Metallurg Magnitogorsk on Friday, Seth Rorabaugh of TribLive.com reports.
Currie appeared in just one game for the Penguins this year in which he logged 7:24 of ice time and didn't accrue any significant stats. Undrafted coming out of the QMJHL, the 28-year-old winger started his career in the Oilers system before signing with Pittsburgh this past season on a one-year deal. The move overseas could mark the end of Currie's NHL career, which would see him eventually retire with five points in 22 games.
