GSHC looking for ways to pay Lombardi - Bern and Lugano lurking

"If we have the opportunity to hire the best scorer of last year's regular season, we will seize it, of course," Genève-Servette HC's coach and team manager Chris McSorley says to "Le Matin". "I know that major efforts are being made right now by our president to try to find the money for it."

Still according to "Le Matin", two other Swiss teams also seem to be interested in the services of the 32-year-old Canadian: SC Bern and HC Lugano, of which Bern appears to be in the pole position. Also playing in the KHL might be an option for Lombardi.

UPDATE The Bianconeri deny being interested in Matthew Lombardi, who has meanwhile cleared waivers without being claimed by another team. "No offer for Lombardi, we're satisfied with our four foreigners," HC Lugano's team manager Roland Habisreutlinger said to "Ticinonews". - 11 October 2014, 7:53 PM
