As Klaus Zaugg (Watson) reports, the goaltender has decided to stay in Langnau as he has a secure spot within the team and a stable environment which can, according to Zaugg, not be said about the other teams interested in him. Also, given his his long-term goal is to get a chance in the NHL, his salary is supposedly also within the Tigers' means.

Furthermore, fellow goaltenders Niklas Schlegel and Melvin Nyffeler are also both close to a contract extension with their respective teams, HC Lugano and the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers.
