"He's very excited being chosen by the Huskies and willing to join us the season after the next," confirmed Rouyn-Noranda's director of hockey operations Pierre Cloutier.
At the same time, Cloutier won't exclude an earlier arrival of the talented forward: "I don't want to run after him. It's his wish to spend another season in Switzerland - but it's true that the door remains open to join us earlier."
If the 17-year-old should decide to hurl himself into the North America adventure already at an earlier date, it might be after this year's World Junior Championship in Montreal and Toronto at the end of December.
