The 23-year-old forward made the jump overseas pretty early in his career, playing in the OHL for Guelph Storm for two seasons. The Swiss-Canadian played the last three seasons for the Syracuse Crunch, but never got to play in an NHL game for the Lightning. In 216 games for the Crunch, the former SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers prospect has scored 27 goals and 86 assists. (mso)
