Ivan Ryabkin, a prospect for the Carolina Hurricanes, is reportedly leaving the Chicago Wolves to join Dynamo Moscow in the KHL. This decision follows Ryabkin's first North American season, where he initially played for the Muskegon Lumberjacks and later had a stint with the Chicago Wolves. After signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Hurricanes worth $2.85 million in August 2025, Ryabkin's move represents a significant development for the team's prospect pool. Ryabkin's connection to Dynamo Moscow is also personal, as he is set to marry the daughter of the team's general manager.
