Following his last season in the NHL, Zach Redmond continued his career in Europe where he played three seasons with Munich EHC in the DEL.
He notably performed very well during his stint in Germany, collecting 35 goals and 79 assists (114 points) in 139 games. The 35-year-old defenseman also won the title of the DEL's best defenseman in the 2021-2022 season with an excellent season of 41 points in 50 games.
