Jeff Tambellini's situation seems to be a bit more complicated. Still suffering from a fractured rib, he is in doubt if he'll be back in time for the start of the season. As HCFG's manager Raphaël Berger says, they might add another import-player to their roster: "We cannot start the season with only three imports."
Their 38-year-old captain Sandy Jeannin still hasn't fully recovered from a concussion. Although he is feeling better, returning to the ice is not an option yet: "He feels better from day to day," Berger says. "But it's still not good enough to return to professional sport."
