As the ZSC Lions have found their new coaching duo in Hans Wallson and Lars Johansson, the planning of the new season is about to start. Three new imports are needed, but the Lions are in no hurry.

"Maybe we're starting the new season with three import-players," ZSC Lions CEO Peter Zahner says in an interview with the Neue Zürcher Zeitung. "We want to take our time this year," he explains, as the new coaches first have to screen a lot of video material in order to see what kind of additions the team needs.

Both the Tages-Anzeiger and the NZZ bring up the name of Patrik Zackrisson, 29, who has been Skellefteå's top scorer under the watch of Wallson and Johansson this season. "We haven't discussed any names so far," Zahner says to the NZZ when asked about Zackrisson. The Swedish forward is also a candidate for HC Lugano. (tme)
