Azevedo stays in Kazan; Videll moves to Riga. May 14-15 transfer highlights

Dinamo Riga has agreed a one-year contract with Canadian international forward Kevin Clark (1987), who spent the 2017-18 campaign in Sweden with Brynas IF, tallying 37 (20+17) points in 56 games.

Another forward signing a one-year deal with the Latvian club is Linus Videll (1985), who last season wore the colors of Traktor Chelyabinsk. The Swedish international had a previous tour of duty with Dinamo Riga back in the 2014-15 season.

After spending the past two seasons at Lokomotiv, goaltender Alexander Sudnitsin (1987) has agreed a two-year deal with Traktor Chelyabinsk.

CSKA and Torpedo have agreed a trade by which defenseman Yegor Ogiyenko (1996) leaves Moscow for Nizhny Novgorod, while forward Sergei Zhilov (1998) moves to the Army Men.

By far the biggest news of the past two days involved a player who decided against a transfer: Gagarin Cup winner and MVP of the 2017-18 playoffs, Ak Bars Kazan's Canadian international forward Justin Azevedo (1988), has put his name on the dotted line of a deal which keeps him in Kazan for two more years.

Another high-profile player who is happy with his current employers is Zach Yuen (1993). The versatile Chinese forward has signed on for another year at Kunlun Red Star.
