Former Edmonton Oilers Magnus Paajarvi and Griffin Reinhart, both of whom failed to catch on with NHL teams this past offseason, have signed deals in the KHL.

While the book isn’t closed on an NHL return for either player, at this point of their careers you have to imagine that it’s KHL or bust. 

Paajarvi, who is just 28 years old, has amassed 62 goals and 124 points in 467 NHL games split between the Oilers, St. Louis Blues and Senators. He was selected 10th overall by the Oilers in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.

As for Reinhart, he’s a notorious NHL bust who has managed just two assists in 37 NHL games since being selected 4th overall by the New York Islanders in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft.
