Undrafted 5th year defenseman Spencer Humphries(2) gets a one year extension from Stavanger Oilers after he scored a league best 14 goals for a blue liner and 19 assists in 45 games, then added another 4 goals and 5 assists in 14 playoff contests en route to the 2017 Get-ligaen Championship.
The rugged 6’2″ 209 lbs. d-man had a pair of 20+ assists seasons in the ECHL from 2014-2016 and a nice playoff ride with South Carolina Stingrays, so definitely can put up the points, especially those helpers.
He proved that early, especially in his final two runs with Calgary Hitmen, where he cranked out an exceptional 30+ assists.
In a bit of an odd move, he spent his rookie season in the KHL with HC Lev Praha, while also being loaned for 10 games and playoffs to HC Litomerice.
The 25-year old (as of today – happy birthday!) seems like he could play himself up the European hockey ladder quite nicely if he decides to stick with it.
