According to Klaus Zaugg (Watson), Vili Saarijärvi will definitely defend for the SCL Tigers next season. Zaugg already reported back in November that the National League team was luring the young defenseman, who has recorded seven goals and 15 assists in 29 games, into the Emmental.
With that, they would have three import players under contract for next season. According to Zaugg, the SCL Tigers will likely fill the remaining spots with the forwards and potentially a goaltender.
