Former Toronto Maple Leafs defenceman Ryan O’Byrne has signed with the Kontinental Hockey League team HC LEV Praha.
The deal is for two years, the Czech Republic-based team announced Monday.
O’Byrne, 29, spent most of the shortened 2013 NHL season with the Colorado Avalanche before being dealt to the Maple Leafs prior to the trade deadline.
In 308 career NHL regular season games, the right-handed blueliner had five goals, 39 points and 369 penalty minutes.
The Victoria, B.C., native was drafted in the third round, 79th overall, by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2003 NHL Draft.
