As the number or unsigned restricted free agents dwindles, two of the highest-profile names have decided to head to Switzerland to join SC Bern - one of them is Colorado Avalanche star winger Mikko Rantanen.
A couple days after reports surfaced that Patrik Laine would be joining the NLA team, SC Bern head coach Kari Jalonen confirmed to Finland’s Iltalehti Rantanen will be joining the team as well. Mikko skated earlier this summer with Norway’s Storhamar Dragons. Jalonen said he expects Rantanen to practice with his team for at least the two weeks and possibly beyond.
