Ryan Spooner is headed overseas.
The 27-year-old center inked a one-year deal with HC Lugano of the Swiss National League, the club announced on Wednesday.
Spooner bounced around the NHL last season, as he began the year with the New York Rangers before he was traded to the Edmonton Oilers in November and dealt again to the Vancouver Canucks in February. The Canucks bought him out after just 11 games.
Selected by the Boston Bruins with the 45th overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft, Spooner recorded 48 goals and 167 points in 325 NHL contests.
