Players come and players go, and sometimes, departures at the end of a season add up to a dozen. One of them was already previously announced by EHC Kloten - Sandro Zurkirchen, back in November.
The others are defenders Thomas Grégoire, Matthew Kellenberger (who had spent most of the season with HC Sierre anyway), Sami Niku (linked to Lausanne HC), Luca Deussen (played on loan for HC Thurgau), Leandro Hinder (joining Thurgau), and Rajan Sataric.
On offense, Niko Ojamäki (Kloten's best scorer after Miro Aaltonen's suspension and departure) will leave, as well as Pontus Åberg (had only joined in January), Joel Marchon (spent most of the season with EHC Olten), Daniel Audette, and Jayce Hawryluk (also a January-addition).
