Breaking news out of the KHL as former Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Spooner has recently been named to the KHL World Team.
I think all Oilers fan will remember the name Ryan Spooner. Way back in 2018, former Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli traded Ryan Strome to the New York Rangers in exchange for Ryan Spooner -- a deal that traces back to Jordan Eberle being traded away for nothing.
Since Ryan Spooners arrival in Edmonton, he struggled to gain any traction whatsoever, recording just 3 points before being dealt to the Vancouver Canucks.
Like many other failed NHL players, Ryan Spooner landed himself a gig playing in the KHL, where he is now thriving.
Ryan Spooner named to KHL World Team
Spooner has played in the KHL for the past six seasons, including this year. He is currently on his second year with Avangard Omsk.
Last season, he exploded for 61 points in 65 games. That's a level of production that he has only experienced at the AHL and junior levels before crossing the pond to Russia.

This season, he has 14 points in 18 games, proving that he still has a little bit of game left in the tank. The 32-year-old may not be an NHLer anymore, but there is nothing wrong with being a great player in the second-best league in the world
