That the two youngsters Stéphane Charlin and Jesse Tanner will suit up for HC La Chaux-de-Fonds next season is no problem for HC Sierre's team manager Christophe Fellay. Even though Charlin was their backup goalie this season: "Servette is looking for more ice time for Charlin and has sought a new solution for him. This is absolutely legitimate," he says to the Walliser Bote.
Even though the news of Servette sending two youngsters to La Chaux-de-Fonds has raised some eyebrows in Sierre, there does not seem to be a problem between the two partnerteams: "Nothing at all changes in our good relationship with [Chris] McSorley and Geneva," Fellay explains.
Moreover Christophe Fellay confirms negotiations with veteran defenseman Goran Bezina: "Someone like Bezina has no price tag for us," he says to the Walliser Bote and is optimistic that Bezina will continue to suit up for HC Sierre: "Both sides want to continue."
