He will thus not be available to the ZSC Lions for the start of the season and is expected to be back in the Lions' lineup no later than October 4.

Suter has not been drafted but already participated in the Ottawa Senators' training camp last season. This year, he followed the Islanders' invitation, even though it was reported yesterday by the NZZ that he will attend the Sens' camp again.

The forward had his best year (pointwise) as a pro last season. In 36 regular season games, he recorded eleven goals and 28 assists. He also was part of Switzerland's Olympic team.
