As journalist Klaus Zaugg reports in today's edition of the Neue Luzerner Zeitung, a deal with HC Lugano had already been set up. But then, HCL's team manager Roland Habisreutinger decided to sign Damien Brunner instead and Juraj Simek had to move on - to TPS Turku in the Finnish Liiga.
In Finland, the 27-year-old only signed a contract until the end of the current season. After that, as Zaugg writes, nothing stands in the way for a return to Switzerland. However, there would have to be a team who pays him as much money as he earned in Geneva - CHF 400,000, according to Zaugg.
