Tony PumaSe ci fosse uno scettro da assegnare alla regina del mercato per numero di movimenti di mercato nell’ultimo mese, sicuramente spetterebbe al Bolzano: acquisti ponderati destinati soprattutto al reparto offensivo; il roster reclama ancora il portiere titolare e un terzino che dovrebbero essere annunciati nei prossimi giorni.
Per l’attacco ha lavorato anche il Dornbirner con gli ingaggi di Charlie Sarault e Daniel Ban; gli ungheresi del Fehévár AV19 hanno pescato dalla ECHL i due difensori David Makowski e Chris Owens, mentre dal Vecchio Continente si aggregheranno Justin Maylan, ex Val Pusteria e Gherdëina, e il nazionale magiaro Janos Vas, il quale ritorna nei Diavoli Rossi dopo sei anni. E a proposito di nazionali, Istvan Bartalis, diretto allo Schwenninger di Pat Cortina, Csaba Kovacs e Ladislav Sikorcin, scesi di categoria per giocare in MOL Liga, salutano la truppa di Tyler Dietrich.
Il Graz preleva dal Villacher lo svedese Robin Weihager in sostituzione dell’americano Troy Vance. L’Innsbruck guarda verso l’ex Cecoslovacchia e mette sotto contratto lo slovacco Kristian Kudroc e il ceco Ondrej Sedivy; tra i partenti il canadese David Liffiton, ex Milano Rossoblù, approdato in Danimarca, e lo svedese Andreas Valdix volato in Gran Bretagna.
Il Klagenfurter si limita all’acquisizione del canadese Matthew Neal. L’Olimpia Lubiana si separa dal suo capitano Andrej Tavzelj, passato ai francesi dell’Angers, e rimpolpa il roster con tre canadesi (Jonathan Hardy, Raphaël Bussières e Chris Langkow) e un lettone (Kristaps Bazevics).
Il Salisburgo mette a segno tre colpi dal peso specifico elevato con il ritorno in Austria di Thomas Raffl e gli arrivi di Brett Olson e Mathieu Roy.
Se l’Innsbruck guarda a est, il Vienna Capitals preferisce la Svezia e mette sotto contratto i canadesi Kelsey Tessier e Riley Holzapfel. Il Villacher inserisce due tasselli in attacco con il canadese Corey Locke e il nazionale sloveno Jan Urbas. Infine l’Orli Znojmo, con il roster praticamente completo, trova l’accordo con Marek Schwarz.
