With 20 players on their roster for the upcoming season, the SCL Tigers are looking for the final pieces to their puzzle.

Will Robbie Earl move from Biel to Langnau?

One of these pieces could be EHC Biel's American forward Robbie Earl. According to the Berner Zeitung, the Tigers will not extend offers for contract extensions to Eero Elo, Mikael Johansson, and Aaron Gagnon for now, which leaves two import-spots open at the moment. Earl's agent Daniel Giger confirms contacts between the Tigers and Earl, but there are also other teams that show interest.

Whereas Roland Gerber, Thomas Nüssli, and Emanuel Peter will have to leave the club, Nils Berger, Simon Kindschi, and Anton Gustafsson are candidates for contract extensions. With Gustafsson, the negotiations seem to be tough, the same source reports. In Kindschi's case, the Tigers will probably make use of their option to keep him in Langnau for another season in the upcoming weeks.
