Would love if Nödl could still make it, he's pretty good defensively and a good penalty killer. Would be a good fit in the bottom six.

they have indeed made two changes now. Goaltender Mathias Lange (Iserlohn/Germany) and forward Andreas Nödl (Salzburg) are in, Fabian Weinhandl and Andreas Kristler are out.
The goaltending change comes after Thomas Vanek, among others, heavily criticized the choice of taking both Klagenfurt goalies instead Lange, who is solid as a starting goaltender in a clearly better league. As for Nödl, our coach said that he now has reached a good enough fitness level after his knee injury to be a part of the team.
