Swiss goalie Robert Mayer who was close to playing for EHC Biel in the National League A has now signed a new 2-way contract with the Montréal Canadiens.

After having rejected the Detroit Red Wings' last offer, Damien Brunner hit the free agent market. Several teams seem to be interested, but no contract-offer yet.

Whereas the EV Zug is looking for a replacement for goalie Jussi Markkanen, the ZSC Lions still have to fill two import-spots beside Ryan Shannon and Steve McCarthy.

After the Montréal Canadiens did not want to resign Yannick Weber, he now has signed a 1-way-contract worth $650,000 with the Vancouver Canucks.

Lausanne HC has signed 32yr-old Center Juha-Pekka Hytönen. The Finnish international will play at Malley for the next two seasons, until 2015.
