The SCL Tigers already have their imports mostly set for the coming season. Örebro HK's Hannes Björninen is very likely to join the current group of Juuso Riikola, Harri Pesonen, Aleksi Saarela, Saku Mäenalanen, and the newly-signed Santtu Kinnunen. This would mean goodbye to Sean Malone. But, as the "Berner Zeitung" writes, there might be hope for him.
Seeing as they tend to add a seventh import in autumn already due to injuries, team manager Pascal Müller would like to go into the coming season with a seventh one already signed. Malone would surely be a candidate in this case. In the end, it comes down to the decision of the club's administrative board to allow an additional import.
Another roster planning topic is Martin Neckar. The young netminder is presumably going to be loaned to EHC Chur once again to gather more experience.
