After last night's out in the quarterfinal series against SC Bern, the ZSC Lions and their team manager Edgar Salis have to analyse the past season. And speculations about the new season are already boiling up.

As the Tages-Anzeiger speculates, there will not only be a new coach behind the ZSC Lions' boards next season, but Salis might also plan with three new import-players as only Ryan Shannon, 33, has a running contract in Zurich. As Auston Matthews will definitely leave in direction of the NHL and David Rundblad is currently only playing on loan, also Ryan Keller and Marc-André Bergeron might have to leave.

Moreover, the same source speculates about a return of forward Ronalds Kenins to the Hallenstadion. After a good start into his North America adventure last season, the 25-year-old had to play the bigger part of this season with Vancouver's AHL affiliate. The Canucks were even willing to trade the young Latvian forward. (tme)
