The decision not to extend Spylo's contract was taken due to his bad season, Daniel Villard explains and adds: "I think that it's better for him and for us to draw a line under our collaboration." Ahren Spylo, on the other hand, would like to keep playing in Switzerland: "I feel good and I'm ready to give it all for ice hockey."
In addition to Spylo's departure, Villard also confirmed that netminder Lukas Meili, forward Gianni Ehrensperger, and the Swedish forward Niklas Olausson have to leave. The Seelanders will now probably try to sign an import-defenseman for the upcoming season. (tme)
