Story Summary
Lausanne HC are reportedly seeking to accelerate the arrivals of Manix Landry and Miles Müller, both of whom are signed to join the club for the 2027-28 season. Both remain under contract with HC Ambrì-Piotta, however, and team manager Lars Weibel is not willing to consider a trade with Lausanne at this time. While that move appears unlikely for now, Lausanne are also reportedly open to adding an additional import forward this season.

IHM Discussion
The situation centres on a contractual timing problem: Landry and Müller remain committed to Ambrì-Piotta but have future agreements with Lausanne for 2027-28. An early transfer would require Ambrì-Piotta’s willingness to negotiate, and Weibel is not currently open to a trade with Lausanne. Lausanne could instead add an import forward rather than pursue an intra-league deal for either player.
Why It Matters
If Lausanne brought either forward in before 2027-28, it would alter short-term roster planning for both clubs: Lausanne would gain attacking depth, while Ambrì-Piotta would need to replace those minutes. For now, the existing contracts and Lausanne’s reported preference are the only established elements; no transfer or agreement has been confirmed.
