As Hans-Ulrich Lehmann tells the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, EHC Kloten will likely have a deficit of about one million Swiss francs for the 2016-17 season. He also talks about the future of veterans Martin Gerber and Martin Plüss.

"We will conclude this season with a deficit of about one million Swiss francs," says Lehmann. "That corresponds to the negative figures from our budgeted revenue from ticket sales. Nevertheless, it is not so bad to reduce the deficit from eight million to one million Swiss francs in one season."

As for veterans Martin Plüss and Martin Gerber, Lehmann could easily imagine Plüss playing for Kloten if "he joins us to our conditions". As for Gerber, the president of EHC Kloten thinks that he will retire from the game: "I am assuming that he will end his career. At least that's how I interpret the signals he is sending out. However, I can easily imagine him in another position within our organisation."
