According to the Tages-Anzeiger, the ZSC Lions will probably start into the 2019-20 season with four import-players.

Will probably have to leave Zurich: Roman Červenka.

ZSC is down two import players because 34-year-old Canadian defenseman Kevin Klein will definitely retire and Czech forward Roman Červenka probably has no future in Zurich, the Tages-Anzeiger writes. The focus of the Lions is to find a new import-center for their first line and probably another import-forward to reinforce their offensive department.

Swedish forward Fredrik Pettersson (contract until 2021) and Canadian defenseman Maxim Noreau (until 2020) will most likely stay and be part of the Lions' import-quartet. Because they have not qualified for the Champions Hockey League, the ZSC will most likely start the new season with four import-players.
