Unrestricted free agent center Austin Czarnik, who’s played for the Red Wings and Grand Rapids Griffins for the past two seasons, is heading to Switzerland. He’s going to play for SC Bern of the National Liga.
The 31-year-old was a reliable call-up and scorer in Grand Rapids despite his 5’9,” 170-pound size, but the 31-year-old’s probably going to make more money in Switzerland than he would have in the AHL.
