Connor Hughes in contact with several NL clubs, including Lausanne HC

“His agent has proposed him to National League clubs, including Lausanne HC, with a view to next season” states John Fust. A return to Switzerland after one year in AHL for the 28-year-old does thus seem a concrete option. Whether it will be Lausanne, remains to be seen. However, it is worth noting that the three current goalies of the club, Kevin Pasche, Antoine Keller, and Thibault Fatton all have a contract valid for the next season as well.

As for the rest of the roster, changes might happen in the import department for the upcoming season: Antti Suomela, Janne Kuokkanen, Lauri Pajuniemi, and Ahti Oksanen have a contract in place, while defenders Gavin Bayreuther, Lawrence Pilut, and David Sklenička, as well as forward Michael Raffl are on expiring deals. Their cases are still open, and that of SC Bern's Austin Czarnik too as Fust reveals to the same source that "nothing has been signed yet, and that other teams are also interested."
