Filip Pyrochta: Returning to Czech Republic
Pyrochta signed a contract with Czech club HC Kometa Brno on Tuesday.
Pyrochta -- who was released by the Predators in early May -- will return to his native Czech Republic to continue his professional career. The 22-year-old was forced to split time between the AHL and ECHL this season, logging a total of 51 games in which he tallied a combined two goals and 11 helpers. Considering the blueliner failed to crack the Preds lineup, it's hard to imagine he will be returning to North America any time soon.

Filip Pyrochta: Let go by Preds
Pyrochta was placed on unconditional waivers Friday by Nashville in order to terminate his contract, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Pyrochta's first season playing in North America didn't exactly go to plan, as he appeared in just 30 AHL contests in which he notched zero goals, four assists and a minus-9 rating. The blueliner didn't fare much better with ECHL Atlanta, where he posted nine points in 21 outings. The 22-year-old will almost certainly return to his native Czech Republic if he wants to continue his professional career.
