Indeed, Blake Speers has signed a contract in the Elite Ice Hockey League, in the United Kingdom, with the Belfast Giants.

"Blake Speers (@bspeers18) has signed a one-year deal with the Belfast Giants (EIHL).

Speers, 27, is an NHL veteran of five games played from 2017-2022. The majority of his professional career has been spent in the American Hockey League (AHL).

Speers had four goals, 14 points through 38 games played with Vasteras IK (HockeyAllsvenskan) 🇸🇪 last season.

With this move, he transitions from the 10th-best league in the world, to the 15th-best league in the world, according to our global league rankings" - Puck Empire

Speers, 27, was drafted 67th overall in 2015 by the New Jersey Devils. He played five NHL games for the Devils and the Coyotes.

Do you think he'll come back in the NHL?
