Sign o’ the Times: UFA Shane Prince leaves NHL for Swiss team

Islanders forward Shane Prince will kiss the NHL farewell after signing a contract with Swiss club Davos.

The player himself announced the move on his Twitter feed tonight without much controversy.

Real excited to join @HCDavos_off next season!! Heard nothing but great things about the city and team. Lets get it going!

Prince was an unrestricted free agent this summer, and I guess no NHL teams said, “Let’s work.” Judging by his tweet, the 25-year-old is delirious about the move.
