Barys and Riley Walsh Mutually Terminate Contract

The contract between Barys and American defenseman Riley Walsh has been terminated at the player's request. Barys retains Walsh's KHL playing rights.

Leonid Metalnikov, General Manager of Barys:

"Riley Walsh received an attractive offer from North America, and we decided to accommodate his request. At Barys, we always strive to treat our players fairly and with respect. It would have been wrong to stand in the way of this opportunity. Riley had a strong season with our club, and his performances with Barys have helped him earn interest at a higher level. We thank him for his professionalism. His KHL playing rights remain with our club. We wish him the very best."
