Tomlinson would like to have more defensively sound forwards

Asked about his wishes for the 2020-21 edition of the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers by the Südostschweiz, head coach Jeff Tomlinson mentions that he would like to have more forwards who are also strong on defense. He also adds that he would like to have not too big of a roster, because "the quality of the training will drop. In addition, a lot of players doesn't automatically mean a lot of competition."

Tomlinson would, of course, also like to keep Roman Červenka: "The question is whether one will come to a financial agreement. Danny Kristo and Tom Pyatt are also on our radar, as are some Swiss players with expiring contracts." He was not willing to say more to that, as team manager Janick Steinmann is responsible for the roster composition.
