Playing career

[edit]

In the midst of the 2016–17 season, his eighth professional season with EHC Biel, on 10 November 2016, he agreed to a three-year contract with SC Bern worth CHF 1.2 million. The contract started from the 2017–18 season and ran through the 2019–20 season.[1] In his first season with SC Bern, Haas drew attention from the Calgary Flames, Montreal Canadiens and Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL).[2]

On 28 January 2019, Haas agreed to an early one-year contract extension worth CHF 800,000 with SC Bern through the 2020–21 season.[3]

Undrafted, Haas, in the following off-season, used his NHL out clause with SC Bern to sign a one-year, entry-level contract with the Edmonton Oilers of the NHL on 1 July 2019.[4] Haas made the Oilers' opening night roster, playing in his first NHL game on 3 October.[5] He went on to score his first NHL goal on 5 November against the Arizona Coyotes after a short two-game stint with the Bakersfield Condors of the American Hockey League (AHL).[6]

On 28 April 2020, Haas agreed to a one-year contract extension with the Oilers worth $915,000.[7][8]

Haas was loaned to SC Bern for the start of the 2020–21 season. He played 14 games with Bern before returning to Edmonton at the end of December.[9]

On 10 June 2021, Haas returned to EHC Biel on a five-year deal.[10][11]
