Stajan signs with Munich in German league

Matt Stajan is heading across the pond.

The longtime NHL forward signed a contract with the Munich Red Bulls in Germany, he confirmed Wednesday.

Stajan was an unrestricted free agent who spent the last eight-plus seasons with the Calgary Flames after being traded there by the Toronto Maple Leafs in January 2010.

Despite serving in a bottom-six role for most of his career, the 34-year-old played 1,003 NHL games, chipping in 146 goals and 413 points.

He racked up a career-high 40 assists and 55 points with the Leafs in 2008-09. Toronto selected him 57th overall in 2002.
