Adler Mannheim secures Cologne's top scorer Justin Schütz - what now?
Cologne – The ice hockey scene is bubbling! The Adler Mannheim have apparently secured the services of Cologne's top scorer Justin Schütz, and with a dream salary! This news sent social media into a frenzy. But that's just the tip of the iceberg, because the hunt for top German players has long since begun and the first transfers could trigger a chain reaction that shakes the entire league!
The Germany Cup in November will be a showcase for players who want to recommend themselves for the national team. The top clubs attract people with generous salaries and promising prospects. Every player dreams of winning titles and securing a regular place in the best teams. The competition is huge, especially with the NHL legionnaires also fighting for the spots. After Justin Schütz's move to the Mannheim Adler, which has not yet been officially confirmed, rumors are sprouting like mushrooms!
The next transfers are coming up!
Mannheimer Morgen reports that the Adler are also vying for Bremerhaven goalkeeper Maximilian Franzreb. In Mannheim he could form a strong duo with Felix Brückmann, as top talent Arno Tiefensee is expected to continue in North America. And the goalie carousel could soon continue to turn: Leon Hungerecker from Nuremberg, whose contract is expiring, is also being hotly traded!
But it's not just goalkeepers who are in demand! Straubing's Josh Samanski has attracted attention with an impressive five goals and eight assists in 16 games and is highly rated. Landshut native Luis Schinko, who consistently scores points for the Grizzlys Wolfsburg, could soon arouse the interest of other clubs. The question remains: Which established German player might not get a follow-up contract with the top clubs in Berlin, Munich or Mannheim? In addition, the experienced Ryan McKiernan, who is expecting his German passport in December, could soon be back on the ice in the DEL. The excitement is rising and the fans can look forward to an exciting preparation for the season!
