Heading into last season, it was no secret that Shaone Morrisonn would play his contract out and seek employment elsewhere.
Morrisonn, if you recall, signed a two-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres back in August 2010. He would go on to play in 62 games the following season and did not perform up to the Sabres expectations.
Last season, Morrisonn was stached away in the AHL for salary-cap purposes, after clearing waivers before the season began.
Morrisonn will be heading to the KHL to after it was announced today that he had agreed to deal with HC Spartak.
