NLA - Although it was reported yesterday that Juraj Simek might be looking for a team in the SHL, he seems to have decided to return to Switzerland and join HC Lugano, as Patrick Andrey (Yes FM) reports.

The 27-year-old forward's current team TPS Turku is unlikely to make the playoffs and they thus have decided to let some of their players look for another opportunity to play with immediate effect. As TPS announces, they have mutually agreed to terminate their contract. Simek has scored two goals and four assists in 15 games in the Finnish Liiga.

Furthermore, according to the same source, Chris McSorely did not pull the trigger on a trade tonight. As it was rumored, the Grenats' head coach was interested in the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers' Sven Berger, Genève-Servette HC's Dario Trutmann was supposed to go the other way. However, that deal or any other possible deal fell through. (mso)
