If the choice falls on Magowan, he would be already operational on Tuesday with the play in Villach: ' In the most intensive phase of the season we also need an internal fight for a place in the Lineup', according to Tom Pokel to the possible strengthening for the Caps. Magowan played in this season already in the DEL2 for the lions Frankfurt and, besides, came on 17 Scorer points (nine gates, eight presentations) in 17 plays. The former top forward of the DEL could not be convincing with Hessen still completely, which is why his contract was dissolved again.
