Once a promising prospect in the Kings\u2019 pool,\u00a0Tyler Madden<\/a>\u00a0is off to Germany on a one-year deal with the Straubing Tigers of the DEL, the team announced<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Madden, 25, heads to Germany\u2019s top league on the heels of a few years of stagnation in the minors. The son of longtime NHL center John Madden<\/a>\u00a0was a third-round pick of the Canucks in 2018 and quickly made a name for himself in college at Northeastern, turning pro after a sophomore season in which he had 37 points in only 27 games.<\/p>\n

A few weeks before leaving college, Madden\u2019s signing rights were sent to Los Angeles in the trade that sent\u00a0Tyler Toffoli<\/a>\u00a0to Vancouver. He quickly signed his entry-level contract, but the pandemic delayed his professional debut.<\/p>\n

After playing just 14 games with AHL Ontario in 2020-21 as a result, Madden looked like he was well on his way to a full-time NHL role the following season when he put up 31 points in 48 games for the Reign. Unfortunately, that was the peak of the New York native\u2019s production.<\/p>\n

Madden\u2019s AHL points per game totals went from 0.65 in 2021-22 to around 0.46 over the following two seasons, resulting in him never getting an NHL call-up. Midway through last season, the Kings traded<\/a> him to the Wild in exchange for minor-league defenseman\u00a0Joseph Cecconi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He finished the season with two goals and 10 points in 20 games for AHL Iowa, not enough to convince Minnesota to give him a qualifying offer. He became an unrestricted free agent on July 1 as a result and presumably didn\u2019t receive any NHL two-way offers that intrigued him.<\/p>\n

The 2019 World Juniors silver medalist now heads to Straubing, where he\u2019ll potentially look to fuel a return to North America with a strong performance. If not, it might be the start of a lengthy European career.<\/p>\n

The Tigers have been in Germany\u2019s top league since gaining promotion from the second division in 2006, but have largely been a middle-of-the-pack team over the last two decades. They\u2019ll hope Madden offers them an offensive infusion after their top scorer last season, Josh Samanski<\/a>, left to sign<\/a> an entry-level contract with the Oilers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Once a promising prospect in the Kings\u2019 pool,\u00a0Tyler Madden\u00a0is off to Germany on a one-year deal with the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[6181,385,99,6182,6180],"class_list":["post-5772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-del","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-transactions","tag-tyler-madden"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
