With not activating their option on Stewart, Fribourg-Gottéron buy themselves some time to come to a definite decision. Thus, although Stewart is officially on the market as of tomorrow, it does not seem to be impossible that he will stay with Fribourg after all.
However, Fribourg-Gottéron has also cast an eye on the former NHL- and HCD-player Niklas Hagman. The Finnish forward is currently under contract with Ässät Pori in the Finnish SM-Liiga, but as they are now without chances to reach the playoffs, he is on the market.
Anthony Stewart, for his part, has scored three goals and 15 assists in a total of 13 games with HC Fribourg-Gottéron.
