Muggli, who was the first Swiss player to be drafted 52nd overall in the NHL draft at the end of June, will be loaned to EVZ by the Washington Capitals for at least one season. The 18-year-old signed an entry-level contract for the next three years with the franchise from the US capital in mid-July.

Kirsch, drafted 116th overall by the San Jose Sharks, joins the Green Bay Gamblers from the USHL junior league. From the 2025/26 season, he will study at the University of Massachusetts and play in the NCAA.
