The Tampa Bay Lightning have signed forward Cory Conacher to a one-year contract worth $575,000.
The 26-year-old appeared in 48 games with Bern SC of the Swiss-A league in the 2015-16 season, recording a team-high 22 goals and 52 points.
Conacher began his NHL career with the Lightning in 2013 after a successful stint with the team's then-AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. He scored nine goals and added 15 assists for Tampa before being traded to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for goaltender Ben Bishop.
He later spent time with the Buffalo Sabres and New York Islanders before being assigned to the AHL, and eventually heading over to Europe.
