Genève-Servette HC ready to sacrifice Romain Loeffel for Yannick Rathgeb?

Citing a "source close to the matter", Le Matin (relayed by SwissHabs) writes that Genève-Servette HC has made a financially very attractive offer to HC Fribourg-Gottéron's defenseman Yannick Rathgeb. Apparently, Geneva's coach and team manager Chris McSorley is willing to go the extra mile to secure the services of the 21-year-old.

The same source further reports that there is also the idea of an early departure of Romain Loeffel, 25, in order to make room for Rathgeb. Chris McSorley, of course, has not commented on this possibility yet. Loeffel still has a valid contract with the Grenats until 2018.
