As Der Bund reports, Mark Arcobello has an NHL out-clause valid until July 15. While it' is not likely that he will leave, Alex Chatelain still made a list with potential replacements if he should find another employer.

As for Nico Hischier, the forward has an offer from SC Bern, but, as previously reported, has not yet decided if he will make the jump and play overseas in his draft year. If he goes, one spot would open up for another Swiss forward.

However, Joël Vermin and Richard Tanner are not an option anymore as they extended their contracts with the Tampa Bay Lightning. As the newspaper speculates, Ronalds Kenins would also not be an option, since he would likely return to Zurich in case of a return to Switzerland. Gian-Andrea Randegger, on the other hand, is still without a contract for the upcoming season, thus this might create a chance for him. (mso)
