Swiss club HC Davos has signed three of its key forwards to three-year contract extensions – Czech Filip Zadina, 25, Canadian Adam Tambellini, 30, and Swede Simon Ryfors, 27. “We are delighted that Simon, Filip, and Adam have so clearly committed to HCD and are planning their future with us,” said club sports director Jan Alston [https://www.hcd.ch/de/news/hcd-verlaengert-mit-drei-stuermern]. “All three are hungry for more, and we expect a high level of play from them over the next three years.” It’s interesting that Zadina chose to sign long-term in Davos after last summer, when the Czech winger was reportedly close to signing with his hometown club Dynamo Pardubice, but a sticking point was term [https://thehockeynews.com/international/players/filip-zadina-signs-in-switzerland] – the club wanted a multi-year deal but Zadina, then 24, wanted to keep his NHL options available and chose the shorter-term offer from Davos. Presumably, this contract contains an opt-out in case he receives an NHL offer. Last season, Zadina had 43 points in 53 National League regular-season and playoff games. He also had four points in three games in the Spengler Cup, which Davos hosts annually [https://thehockeynews.com/international/latest-news/spengler-cup-announces-2025-groups-and-schedule].
