Two months after competing for the Stanley Cup with the San Jose Sharks, forward Nick Spaling is heading to Switzerland, signing with Geneve Servette on a one-year contract, according to Swisshockeynews.ch, backed by the team's official website.
The 27-year-old was drafted in the second round by the Nashville Predators in 2007, and spent last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs prior to being dealt to San Jose before the trade deadline.
Spaling recorded 13 points in 58 games between the two clubs last year, and suited up in all 24 of the Sharks' playoff contests.
He joins former NHLers Mike Santorelli and Jim Slater on a Geneve team that finished in third place in National League A in 2015-16 - the top tier of the Swiss national ice hockey league.
