Signing un-drafted European players is common across the NHL these days; sometimes they pay off, other times, as is the case here; the player never quite makes it to the highest-level and heads off into the sunset for a new challenge. Eric Martinsson has chosen to depart the Minnesota Wild and do exactly that, bound for the Swiss league.
After being waived unconditionally by the Minnesota Wild, he will be joining up with Geneve-Servette of Switzerland.
Earlier rumours had him headed to Frolunda in the Swedish league, so the move can be viewed with a degree of surprise.
