The free-agency market in the NHL also means that some unrestricted free agents will choose to leave the league.

That is the case today of Ryan Spooner, who has signed a one-year contract with Switzerland’s HC Lugano.


The 27-year-old spent time with the New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks last season - quite the busy year for the veteran. 

He recorded three goals and posted nine points in 52 games with the three teams last season. He also scored two goals and added four assists in seven games with the Bakersfield Condors, the Oilers’ AHL affiliate.

Last summer, Spooner had managed to sign a two-year contract two-year, $8 million contract with the Rangers, but was traded to the Oilers just 16 games into this past season for Ryan Strome. He was then traded again in February, heading to the Canucks for forward Sam Gagner. The Canucks bought out the final year of his contract last month.

That seems like the end of the NHL road for him… 

Spooner was selected in the second round, 45th overall by the Boston Bruins in 2010. He collected 48 goals and 119 assists in 325 regular-season NHL games.
