The 23-year-old had been courted intensively by several other NLA-teams after having a breakout year last season, in which he was able to put up 27 points (nine goals, 18 assists) in 56 games for EHCB.

Currently recovering from a concussion, Haas has recorded four goals and five assists in eleven games since the start of the 2015-16 season. (lcu)
