Phillip Gogulla today told German news outlet bild.de that he'll likely remain with Kolner Haie of the DEL for one more season, but will make a final decision shortly.
Also in the interview, the tired Gogulla spoke of the recent development camp by railing on the camp beds, being woken up at 6 AM, and practicing without breakfast.
Gogulla performed well while skating on a line with Nathan Gerbe and Marek Zagrapan at last week's Development Camp. The 6'2, 198-pound wing scored a career best 43 points in 50 games with Cologne last season, and looks poised to eat up top-6 forward minutes with Portland if he decides to come to North America.
Regardless of his decision, Gogulla is expected to participate in the Sabres training camp this fall.
