Despite a contract valid for the upcoming season, it has been rumored that Arttu Ruotsalainen might leave HC Lugano. According to "RSI", the farewell is now even closer. To replace him, the Bianconeri have set their eyes on 28-year-old forward Radim Zohorna, a member of the Pittsburgh Penguins' organization this past season.
The big forward (198 cm, 104 kg) can play at the center or the wing and was part of the Czech national team at the 2023 World Championship. This season, Zohorna collected seven points in 33 games with Pittsburgh and 28 points (twelve goals) in 32 games with their AHL partner team, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
