DEL: Adler Mannheim - Tommi Huthala
- Thread starter amoboko
- Start date
Usually news about contracts only come out after the team's season is over. The finals start tomorrow, so depending on how many games will be needed there should be news in a week or two.
From what I have found on the internet, most Mannheim fans on message boards seem pretty sure, that Huthala will stay. They definitely want to keep him.
That happens in Germany too, but not as frequently. Probably because most of our media doesn't care about hockey, so there aren't many people digging for news and rumours. But as soon as a teams season is over they usually release the information which players are staying, leaving or who they are still negotiating with.
Still nothing official as far as I know, but it seems very likely that Huthala stays in Mannheim, and the team is looking to add another Finish player to the roster for next season in Jan-Mikael Järvinen.
Usually there's some sort of decent coverage in local newspapers, so for Mannheim that would be the Mannheimer Morgen for example.
In that case you could also take a look at this thread on the "Adler Forum". There are some well informed posters on there.

So far I could not find a place where you can buy specific cards, except through certain internet forums, but I don't really know any of the posters there.
I have a friend who bought the Adler Mannheim Meisterset - DEL Playercards Meisterset 2019
Maybe I could persuade him to part with the Huhtala Card. This would not be the regular DEL Playercard but a special Championhip version.
I can also ask him if he has the regular version next time I see him (probably this weekend), but he only has like 50 of the regular cards from a box he bought with random cards and I don't know if Huhtala was one of the players he got there.
Finding them in stores in town will probably very difficult.
They are usually only sold online or at arenas during DEL games. Now in the offseason the online shop appears to be the only option.

So, I met with my friend on the weekend, and I could make a trade to get the Huhtala card from the championship set, if you are interested.
The only thing we would have to work out is how I can get it to you.
I haven't had any luck with the regular player card. But now I after seeing my friend's cards I got into it myself, even if I was somewhat disappointed that the cards are rather flimsy (I had hoped for something more durable). So I started collecting now and should I stumble onto the regular Huhtala card I'll let you know.
