NLA - "There's absolutely nothing to it," SCB's team manager Sven Leuenberger said to the Berner Zeitung, confronted with the rumor that Marc-André Gragnani might be on the move to the KHL. Moreover, they will inform today, if Kinrade returns.

SC Bern's Canadian defenseman Marc-André Gragnani as one of two new players for Medvescak Zagreb - that is what the Croatian website khl.hr reported yesterday. Today, the world seems to look a bit different, at least according to SCB's Sven Leuenberger, who denies this rumor: "There's absolutely nothing to it."

Moreover, SC Bern is going to inform today if Geoff Kinrade, whose loan with HC Ambrì-Piotta came to an end after yesterday's game, will return to Bern. Because HC Ambrì-Piotta signed former NHL defenseman Francis Bouillon yesterday, Kinrade's return to Bern seems likely.

As the Berner Zeitung adds, it seems like defenseman David Jobin will stay in Bern. The 33-year-old, whose contract with SCB expires at the end of this season, will most likely ink a new one soon.
