Very nice overview, Arusaki! Isn't Duisburg's Hilpert a defenceman though?

Not meaning to disrespect your work in anyway, just trying to help: the links to hockeydb.com in Duisburg's forward are mostly incorrect.

Oh thanks for info.
Maybe I've been a bit tired at that time ^^

Great job on those rosters, Arusaki. Keep 'em coming!

[Karsten]

Wolfsburg has signed Slovan Bratislava's captain, Lubomir Hurtaj. Hurtaj produced 46 points (21+25) in 52 games and was Slovan's 2nd scoring leader in the Slovnaft liga last season.

Arusaki, I have fixed Wolfsburg's roster.

I have also added the pre-season games (excl. the cup)

Fintan, if you would like to help Arusaki covering the German leagues, please let us know. News, previews, updates, whatever. Any help is appreciated. Your site on German hockey is great.

I think he received an offer from St Louis this week. Fintan, do you confirm this?
