The 36-year-old defenseman would have had a contract in place with EHC Kloten for the upcoming season. Their relegation now forces him to reconsider his options. Does he want to stay in the National League or return to EHC Olten? There are National League teams interested in him, according to the newspaper, among them the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers.

As Olten's team manager Marc Grieder tells Marcel Kuchta, the chances for him joining them are about 50/50. Helbling wants to make his decision in the next two weeks. In 33 games last season, he recorded one goal and two assists for EV Zug.
