As HC Ambrì-Piotta's budget is tight, they would only be able to acquire an import goaltender if one of their goalies was willing to leave the team - despite a running contract.

According to Klaus Zaugg (Watson), there are rumors that team manager Paolo Duca thus asked Damiano Ciaccio, who appeared in 26 games for the Biancoblù this season, at their end-of-season talk, whether he might potentially agree to a trade.

As sources tell Zaugg, HC Ajoie might be that potential trading partner, as the National League team is looking for a second goaltender. Whether such a deal will actually happen remains to be seen, but apparently, still according to the same sources, Ciaccio would likely agree to the trade if the two parties were to seriously consider such a move.
