In the past three seasons, McClement suited up for the Carolina Hurricanes, for which he managed to put up 15 goals and 25 assists in 224 games. All in all, the Canadian has appeared in 917 NHL games for the St. Louis Blues, the Colorado Avalanche, the Toronto Maple Leafs and most recently the Hurricanes, recording a total of 244 points (90 goals, 154 assists).

McClement is expected to arrive in Switzerland tomorrow morning and will be ready for game action in the Swiss League as soon as the paperwork is completed.
