Genève-Servette's coach and team manager Chris McSorley has confirmed that they are interested in the 29yr-old Finnish forward Lennart Petrell. However, nothing is signed yet."He is one of the players we are pursuing right now", Chris McSorley said to the journalist Grégory Beaud (20 minutes). Right now it seems that Alexandre Picard is the only import-player under contract with the "grenats" for the upcoming season as Ryan Keller is rumoured not to return to Geneva.
Lennart Petrell played in the last two years for the Edmonton Oilers in the National Hockey League (95GP, 18P). Before crossing the Atlantic ocean he played 7 years for Helsinki IF in the Finnish SM-Liiga.
Chris McSorley: "Le Finlandais Lennart Petrell est un des joueurs que nous suivons actuellement. Mais aucun contrat n'est signé." #GSHC
