Confirming @slavamalamud's report on Nikita Filatov leaving OTT organization to play in Russia.
Filatov has no fantasy hockey value whatsoever.

Line Change
Asked if thought of putting Filatov in the lineup, Paul MacLean said: "No." Didn't expand on it either.
As expected, Filatov is a healthy scratch yet again. The skilled winger has only one assist in nine games with the Senators and should be a bench play at best.

Nikita Filatov on the ice for practice, whatever that means. Not in Bingo, or the KHL.
Filatov was a healthy scratch during last night's game after a few auditions with the top line. The super-skilled forward is not skating with that line and may be a scratch yet again.
Nikita Filatov will play.
Filatov has a partially broken nose but is good enough to play tonight. At this point he is making good use of his last chance in the NHL.
Filatov just told me his nose isn't completely broken. X-ray revealed fracture.
Filatov is likely to play tomorrow despite leaving the last game due to dizziness. He has one assist through his first eight games with the team.
Line Change
Nikita Filatov will play on top 2 lines today; either with Spezza or Alfredsson. We could see Foligno as 2nd line centre.
Filatov jumps back into the lineup and is immediately given fantasy hockey value. Check the lines later when we find out exactly where he is situated.

Filatov up
Filatov scored seven goals and 12 points in 15 games with the B-Sens, earning a callup. His fantasy hockey value all depends on if he plays on a scoring line or not.

Filatov loses his immediate fantasy hockey value with this demotion.
Line Change
“The other guys have played better,” MacLean said Tuesday morning ahead of his team’s match-up against the Minnesota Wild. “Nikita is making some great strides in the organization in the way that he’s approached it.
Filatov added an assist through his first two games as a Sen but hasn't taken the leap as a reliable two-way player. Coach MacLean is hoping this benching will help him improve in his own end.
Line Change
Filatov is either a healthy scratch or on 4th line.
The Sens don't play today so we are left in the dark with regards to Filatov's actual lines. He registered an assist over his first two games but it sounds like coach McLean wants more from his talented enigma.
Line Change
One that has potential, though, is the threesome of Colin Greening, Jason Spezza, and Nikita Filatov. Spezza had some history with Greening last season and he has now played a couple of pre-season games with Filatov.
Filatov gets his first legitimate chance to succeed in Ottawa. The enigmatic winger potted only six goals over 44 NHL games which were spread out over three seasons. Expect him to thrive with a change of scenery, which would make him a sleeper at his current price tag.
After a checkup with the trainers, Filatov rejoined his teammates and played the rest of the game.
Good to hear the young Russian is OK following a scary check. The former 6th overall pick is expected to compete for a spot on one of the team's top two lines.
Lessard with a ridiculous blindside run at Filatov on half wall in scrimmage. Filatov down and off for evaluation. #Sens
We will keep you apprised of any further updates.
In a surprise move, the Senators traded their third-round pick, 66th overall, for wayward Russian forward Nikita Filatov.
