Therefore, Jan Alston is not just looking for a Swiss player for the third or fourth line, but for a first-line forward who is able to play with Daniel Bång and Juha-Pekka Hytönen. "We're checking out one or two options," Alston says. "But it's none of those players of which one can read in the media." Thus, a signing of Thibaut Monnet, Mark Bastl, or Anton Gustafsson is not planned.
But what about Heinz Ehlers' son Nikolaj? "Of course, he would be very welcome in Lausanne, but his future does not depend on us," Alston says and also emphasizes LHC's difficult financial situation. For the upcoming days, talks with all the players are planned - including Colby Genoway and Cristobal Huet. Alston hopes that the latter will stay with Lausanne beyond 2016. (tme)
