Rumor

According to the "Journal du Jura", EHC Biel is still working on their squad. Mathias Joggi has an offer until 2015 and might sign soon. In addition, Chris Bourque is a candidate as fifth import-player.

EHC Biel has officially made a contract-offer (through to the 2014-15 season) to Mathias Joggi. But as EHCB's team manager Martin Steinegger says: "Nothing is signed yet, there are still some details to work out."

One of the details would, of course, be Mathias Joggi's valid contract with HC Davos that is running out at the end of this season. Joggi will first have to clear his situation in Davos and dissolve his contract there, before he could sign with EHC Biel.

In addition to Joggi, the 27yr-old Canada-American Chris Bourque - son of former Boston Bruins captain Ray Bourque - is a serious candidate as EHC Biel's fifth import-player, the "Journal du Jura" reports.

The former Lugano-striker, who played 41 games for Lugano and scored 15 goals and 23 assists during the 2010-11 season, recently played for AK Bars Kazan in the KHL, where he shot two goals in 11 appearances.
