When the Rangers signed Bereglazov last summer they gave Bereglazov the opportunity to go back to the KHL. With Bereglazov still in Hartford a month into the season, the 23-year-old defenseman is heading back to the KHL.
Bereglazov was a coveted free agent over the summer and looked to play a major role in what the Rangers were going to do defensively prior to the signing of Kevin Shattenkirk. With Shattenkirk’s signing, Bereglazov needed to impress in training camp.
