It has been rumored since March that the Buffalo Sabres were expected to sign Kontinental Hockey League defenseman Viktor Antipin once his season in Russia had come to a close.
On Tuesday, KHL insider Aivis Kalnins reported that the Sabres and Antipin have talked recently, and the feeling is that the two sides will get a deal done after the IIHF World Championship concludes on May 21.

It is believed that former Sabres general manager Tim Murray has wanted Antipin to come play in North America ever since his days with the Ottawa Senators organization. Even with Murray no longer in the picture in Buffalo, Kalnins' report suggests that Antipin is still likely to join the Sabres organization.
