As Jesse Zgraggen tells the Luzerner Zeitung, his agent has been in talks with several teams and he also does not exclude a return to HC Ambrì-Piotta.

Still, the 27-year-old defenseman does not hide his hope to stay in Zug, while also admitting that he is not happy with his performance this season: "I would like to stay with EV Zug, but I also know that the club has to save some money."

As for Yves Stoffel, the 19-year-old forward is currently getting over the fact that a positive Covid-19 test prevented him to join the U20 national team for the World Juniors, as he tells the Südostschweiz.

The forward was also looking for an opportunity to showcase his skills in Canada, as the World Juniors is the most popular junior tournament there is. It is not clear whether he can stay in Zug next season, but he has a clear goal in mind: "It is my goal to play in the National League next season, despite having missed the World Championship."
