Genève-Servette HC lost their pre-playoff series against HC Lugano. The early out in the postseason will, however, likely not impact the coaching staff.

"No decision has been made yet, we still have to discuss it," team manager Marc Gautschi tells the Tribune de Genève. "[...] But I also don't forget that since Jan took over the team, [...] we have made a lot of progress. And I don't think we should lose our heads after playing an entire season over two games."

Jan Cadieux, who has one year left on his contract as an assistant coach, took over as head coach when Patrick Émond was dismissed in November.

As for the rest of the roster, Gautschi is happy with Sami Vatanen and Valtteri Filppula and would like to keep them. He also assumes that Linus Omark will return to Switzerland next year. The Swede was allowed to play in Sweden this year due to family reasons but is expected to honor the second year of his contract with GSHC next season.
