Cory Murphy transferred to Zurich Lions

The ZSC Lions website has announced that Cory Murphy has signed with the Swiss team for 2 years. At least, that's what I understand from this Google translation of the original article.

Murphy was a low-risk signing last summer, trying to add some offense to a blueline that lacked it. Murphy started off in New Jersey but couldn't stick around; yet he had a good and productive season down in Lowell with 6 goals and 38 assists in 64 games. I don't know if the Devils still have his rights though.

He won't be going to Albany with the AHL team, but to Europe, and I wish him the best of luck. (Hat-tip: Matsku on Twitter for initial news, confirmed via Zurich site)

Good for Murphy… I was happy they signed him but it didn’t work out.. All the best for Murphy.

Considering he was a UFA this off-season, I don’t think he is. Unless the Devils sign him and they and the Swiss team agree to loaning rights or whatever. I guess he just wants to play the game as much as possible, and I don’t blame him.
