Even though he still has a running contract with HC Lugano, there were rumours that Riccardo Sartori could be joining EHC Biel for the upcoming season. However, HCL's vice president and deputy team manager, Andy Näser told "Ticinonline" that he cannot confirm said rumours.
Additionally, Näser states that HC Lugano is no longer interested in signing defenseman Yannick Weber. "Yannick Weber's arrival was a rumour that spread before the World Championship. However, with the signing of Daniel Sondell the issue is over", said Näser. (abu)
