The 29-year-old defenseman has not yet decided where he will play in the 2018-19 season, but he already told the same source a week ago that he had received several offers, among them one from HC Lugano.

The Dragons thus lose another defender after Andrea Glauser, who has already agreed to terms with the SCL Tigers. Kienzle has been part of the Dragons since 2016. In 20 games for HCFG this season thus far, the 29-year-old has recorded two goals and six assists.
