Le Matin already reported in mid-November that GSHC was looking to shed Gerbe's contract. However, they have not found a team which was willing to take him off their hands, so they had to find another solution which would lighten their financial burden. Gerbe had a valid contract with the Grenats until the end of the 2018-19 season.

On another note, there were rumors circulating that Romain Loeffel might leave Geneva in direction of Lugano before the end of the current season. As Loeffel now tells the Tribune de Genève, he wants to finish the season with the Grenats.

However, according to the newspaper, while it is unlikely that the defenseman will leave the team before the end of his contract, he will join HC Lugano as of next season. Furthermore, they also state that Damien Riat will join EHC Biel as of next season.
