As L'Impartial reports, HCC is on the search for two defensemen. While HCD's Luca Camperchioli does not seem to be making the move to La Chaux-de-Fonds for personal reasons, Patrick Zubler is set to stay with HCC for another year.
As for the goaltender positions, Remo Giovannini will be the starting goaltender and Lionel Favre is not expected to be staying on with HCC and leave the club.
Melvin Merola, on the other hand, should stay put as he has not activated his NLA out clause. Pierrick Pivron, though, will not be re-signed and HCC is looking for two more offensive players for the upcoming season.
And while both import forwards, Dominic Forget and Benoît Mondou, still have ongoing contracts for one and two more years respectively, the future of Mondou is still uncertain. After missing most of the season due to injury, the management hopes for a decision before the end of march, taking into consideration the opinion of the player and a doctor.
Should Mondou not be able to return to play, HCC has the option, amongst others, to sign Peter Sejna to another contract for the upcoming season. (lcu)
