Versteeg joins Swiss side Bern on 1-year deal

Kris Versteeg is indeed heading to Switzerland.

SC Bern of the Swiss National League A confirmed the signing of the two-time Stanley Cup champ and habitual rental commodity with a press release Monday.

Versteeg scored 15 goals and 38 points in 77 games split between the Carolina Hurricanes and Los Angeles Kings last season, which is right in line with the serviceable half-point-per-game he's contributed over the last three years.

He replaces Cory Conacher - who's returning to the NHL with the Tampa Bay Lightning - on Bern's import roster.
