Tyler Seguin is not waiting around anymore.
The Boston Bruins forward is heading overseas and will join EHC Biel of the Swiss National A League, according to various reports.
Looks like I’m wearing number 9 for EHC Biel in Switzerland till the lockouts done. Excited to play next week. #illmissthebruinsfans

“The wheels are in motion, so to speak,” Pulver told Kevin Paul Dupont of Boston.com. “There are still details to work out — transfer card, all the usual stuff — but that is the plan. He should be on his way imminently.”
Seguin, 20, is expected to join the Swiss club next week. He was rewarded with a six-year, $34. 5 million contract extension earlier in the off-season.
The Brampton, Ont., native led the Bruins with 29 goals and 67 points last season. Boston selected Seguin with the second overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.
