27-year-old Haas is close to signing a deal with the Edmonton Oilers, as Watson reports. The forward is said to have been offered a contract over a month ago by the same source but was not yet allowed to disclose from which team. Jaro Turma, his agent, confirms having received the offer.

Haas signed a contract extension with Bern back in January which includes an NHL-out clause for this summer which would allow him to leave for North America.

In 59 games this past season, the centerman recorded 19 goals and 26 assists.
