THE MacBETH REPORT (CHRISTMAS DAY SPECIAL): F Konstantin Panov (Kamloops, 1998-2001) signed a contract for the rest of this season with Dynamo Moscow (Russia KHL) after his release by Lada Togliatti (Russia KHL) earlier today. Panov was the captain and leading scorer of Lada, getting 12 goals and nine assists in 31 games this season. No word on the reason for the release -- Lada also released its No. 3 scorer today and he landed with CSKA Moscow -- but the club has been facing severe financial difficulties all season.
