Only two days before their first game of the season, It has been rumored that Kyle Wellwood is close to Switzerland and many sources believed that he would sign with Genève-Servette HC. However, Chris McSorley had to scratch him from his short-list - and now he signed with EVZ.
According to Nicola Berger of the "Neue Luzerner Zeitung", EVZ signed Wellwood to a 1-month-contract. He is going have his first practice with Zug tomorrow and will be in their line-up on Friday against SC Bern.
The question that is raised by this transfer: Will Josh Holden be out for a longer time than expected? The Canadian suffers from an elbow-injury since the beginning of August.
Kyle Wellwood has played a total of 529 NHL-games for Toronto, Vancouver, San Jose and Winnipeg. In these 529 games he scored 96 goals and 159 assists.
