Financial terms were not disclosed.
A second-round pick in this past June's draft, the 18-year-old Voynov spent the past two seasons with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the Russian League. The 6-foot, 190-pounder notched one goal and three assists in 36 games last campaign.
Selected three rounds later, Loktionov, 18, recorded one assist in five games with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv of the Russian Super League in 2007-08. Along with Voynov, the 5-11, 187-pounder helped Russia to the silver medal at this year's Under-18 World Championship.
