The U19 Swiss international has signed a three-year contract and will thus stay until the end of the 2017-18 season. This season, he has scored 23 points (ten goals, 13 assists) in 45 games.

Jens Nater, on the other hand, joined HC Davos in 2010 from Herisau and has been part of the organisation ever since. The 19-year-old defenseman has agreed to a one-year deal, which will run through 2016. The assistant captain of Davos' U20 team put up three goals and six assists in 47 games. (mso)
