The 27-year-old Norwegian international had already indicated in an interview at the end of March that he would be open to a stint in Switzerland, now this seems to have become a concrete possibility.

The defenseman, who was drafted in the sixth round by the Colorado Avalanche in 2008 and also appeared in 39 games (six assists) for them, is at the end of his contract with KHL team Lokomotiv Yaroslavl. In the past two season, he was able to score 16 goals and 22 assists in 134 games for them. (mso)
