The Swiss forward signed a two-year contract with an NHL cap hit of $980,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biasca is coming off a silver medal at the <a href=\"http:\/\/bostonhockeynow.com\/tag\/iihf-world-championships\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IIHF World Championships<\/a>, where he scored three points (1-2\u20133) in 10 games while playing on the first line with <a href=\"http:\/\/newjerseyhockeynow.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Jersey<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/puckpedia.com\/player\/timo-meier\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Timo Meier<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/puckpedia.com\/player\/nico-hischier\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nico Hischier<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This past season, Biasca played for HC Fribourg-Gott\u00e9ron of the National League (Switzerland). In 45 games, he scored 15 goals, finishing second on the team. He closed the season with 27 points and a plus-20 rating, and won the league\u2019s award for the <a href=\"https:\/\/swisshockeynews.ch\/en\/shn\/men\/swiss-hockey\/nl\/matej-stransky-voted-as-mvp-by-coaches-and-captains\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Most Improved Player<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fribourg-Gott\u00e9ron won the first National League (NL) championship in club history, and Biasca added four points (3-1\u20134) in 14 playoff games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would like to thank the fans and the club. I had an exceptional season. The memories of winning the Swiss championship will stay with me forever,\u201d Biasca said in a release posted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gotteron.ch\/fr\/News\/2026-06-14\/Attilio-Biasca-rejoint-les-Bruins-de-Boston\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fribourg-Gott\u00e9ron<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m also eager to try my luck with Boston. I\u2019m going to do everything I can to meet this huge challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biasca played through EV Zug\u2019s (NL) youth program and played 84 games with them at the senior level.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also spent three years in North America with the Halifax Mooseheads (QMJHL). In 118 games with Halifax, Biasca finished with 81 points (37-44\u201381), and he added 13 (7-6\u201313) more in 23 playoff games. He served as the team\u2019s captain in his third and final season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He was NHL draft eligible in 2021, but remained undrafted and went back to Europe for the 2023-24 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing brings Biasca back to North America after three seasons developing in Switzerland\u2019s top league, and he is likely headed to <a href=\"http:\/\/bostonhockeynow.com\/tag\/providence-bruins\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Providence<\/a> for the 2026-27 season. However, his pro experience should keep him in the mix at training camp or further down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/x.com\/jackstudley13\" rel=\"nofollow\">FOLLOW @JACKSTUDLEY13 ON \ud835\udd4f<\/a>\u00a0 | <a href=\"http:\/\/x.com\/boshockeynow\" rel=\"nofollow\">FOLLOW @BOSHockeyNow ON \ud835\udd4f<\/a>                                                    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Days after the Boston Bruins lost a depth forward to Germany, they bring in a younger one from&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":85340,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4],"tags":[43553,42890,29216,1789,43554,41,17],"class_list":["post-85339","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-switzerland","tag-ahl","tag-attilio-biasca","tag-boston-bruins","tag-nhl","tag-providence-bruins","tag-swiss","tag-switzerland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116760250208621775","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85339","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=85339"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85339\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/85340"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85339"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85339"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
