Bakersfield Condors forward Roby Jarventie has signed a three-year contract with Tappara Tampere in Finland's Liiga, the team announced.
Jarventie only appeared in two games for the Condors this season, recording two assists in a November game before being forced to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
The 22-year-old was acquired by the Edmonton Oilers in a trade with the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Xavier Bourgault and Jake Chiasson in July 2024. He was set to be a restricted free agent at the end of the season.
A second round selection of the Senators in 2020, Jarventie recorded 38 goals and 88 points in 138 career AHL games.
The Tampere, Fin., native recorded one assist in seven career NHL games, all with Ottawa.
