Reports out of Germany is that Chris Collins has indeed signed a contract to play in the DEL with the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers Nürnberg for next season.
No fun with Babelfish for this one. The headline of this post is all me. Thomas Sabo is a local jeweler who bought the team from keeping it from going bankrupt.*
Best, most trusted source coming out confirming the transfer is the Augsburger Allgemeine, which is a major German regional daily newspaper published since 1945.** You can read the blurb about Collins here. (already translated to English, you are welcome)
Collins joins ex-WBS Penguin Captain Ryan Bayda and defenseman T.J. Kemp on the team next year.
Chirps from Center Ice wishes Chris Collins the best in his German endeavors.
