Benjamin Baumgartner is considered one of the greatest talents in Austria. However, Lausanne is trying to move it until 2025 despite the contract. The nominees are SC Bern, Ambri and Biel. But the problem is the “golden handcuffs”.

Talent scouts certify his NHL format: New Jersey gained his rights in the 2020 draft (#61). At the moment, Benjamin Baumgartner continues to advance in our first division. Since he was already young yet Zurich Came, has a Swiss license. He highlighted himself in Davos (2014 to 2021) with 25 points in 47 matches (2020/21). Then it follows the appeal of big money and changes in summer 2021 to Lausanne. But he wasn’t happy there (15 points left) and Lausanne wasn’t with him. And so, it is now offered to competition by Lausanne, although it is held until 2025.

Benjamin Baumgartner is an exemplary professional. But like many talented players, he’s also sensitive. Something like Austria’s response to Luca Cunti: an offensive, creative, nimble, agile center (“Schillerfalter”) without defensive back gear but with international talent coordination. In 31 international matches with Austrian national team Roger Bader, he scored an astonishing 12 points. At Davos he got a lot of pats from the coach but he got very little money. In Lausanne he gets a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money (400,000 francs per season) but he gets very little money.

For his athletic development, it is better, in fact, to leave Lausanne. But again he must not choose the wrong club. Sources indicate several options: including SC Bern, Biel and Ambri.

In fact, Biel’s Director of Sports, Martin Steinger, and SCB’s Director of Sports, Andrew Epte, have both confirmed their interest and connection to Lausanne. But both also say a solution is still a long way off. The problem lies in the contract until 2025. This high-paying contract has the effect of the “golden handcuffs” that bind Benjamin Baumgartner in Lausanne that Lausanne General Manager Peter Svoboda would love to release – if the cash register is halfway right.

It became clear that Benjamin Baumgartner could leave only if he did not have to spend a lot of money. No new employer will adopt the Treaty of Lausanne. But if he doesn’t give up and stay, his career and dream may deteriorate, and even collapse NHL Retreat to an elusive distance.

Moving to Ambri would make more sense. There he will play a central role as a center. But then he had to give up a lot of money. Moving to Biel would also make sense. There is still room to attack. On the other hand, he can Bern Hopefully we can get a spot at most in the third or fourth storm.
