Spencer Abbott: Inks deal with Swiss club
Abbott has signed with Swiss hockey club Kloten, TSN reports.
Abbott at least impressed the bosses running the Maple Leafs, Ducks, Blackhawks and Devils enough to play in their respective minor-league systems, but the undrafted winger only ended up in two NHL games since the Leafs took a chance on him as a free agent in 2011-12. The 29-year-old is a terrific passer who should turn heads in Switzerland, though it appears his NHL hopes are dashed.

Ducks' Spencer Abbott: Dealt to Anaheim
The Blackhawks traded Abbott and Sam Carrick to the Ducks in exchange for Kenton Helgesen and a 2019 seventh-round pick Wednesday.
Abbott is 28 years old and has only drawn into two NHL contests during his five-year career, so the Blackhawks are essentially just shedding some organizational depth in exchange for a late-round pick with this move. The 5-foot-9 winger will likely report to his new club's AHL affiliate and finish the 2016-17 campaign in the minors.

Blackhawks' Spencer Abbott: Returned to AHL affiliate
The Blackhawks assigned Abbott to AHL Rockford on Friday.
The 28-year-old winger drew into one game during his brief stay with the big club, and failed to make much of an impact, recording one shot on goal while getting just 8:34 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Sabres. The diminutive winger has only played in two NHL contests during his six-year career, and will likely spend the rest of the 2016-17 campaign in the minors.

Blackhawks' Spencer Abbott: Recalled from AHL Rockford
Abbott was recalled from AHL Rockford on Tuesday.
With Tyler Motte being sent down to the minors Tuesday, the Blackhawks were in need of forward depth and Abbott was given the call up. The 28-year-old AHL journeyman has accumulated 21 points over 30 games in the minors -- tied for most on the IceHogs -- and could make his 2016-17 NHL debut as early as Thursday against the Sabres.
