Contract Termination: [PHI] Flyers place F Lukas Sedlak on unconditional waivers (Cleared)

[abo9]

Makes sense.

Dude is 29, and seems like he was producing at a solid rate in the KHL. Must be tough being away from any famy/friends to play bottom 6 mins, even if in the NHL

It goes by crazy fast too. Enjoy it and congratulations on the latest Soup!

Thanks!

Not to say that I'm not thrilled to drop him off at daycare every day, either.

But on the topic of Sedlak, I wish him well that he finds happiness.

Another tremendous talent evaluation and management of assets by Fletcher. He always gets his guy.

And by his guy, I mean a guy who is nothing except completed overmatched and outclassed by average NHL talent.

What mental gymnastics are being posted defending him for this? "Well it's no big deal, he was just a waiver claim anyway. No harm."

Edit: I dunno how I got to this particular thread, but you know what? I'm keeping this comment because I hate this team and GM and everyone deserves to know

Could have just done what Johnny Hockey did when he reached his life long dream of playing slightly closer to home.

For Sedlak, anything in the NY region could have worked.

Having a newborn myself, I sympathize with Sheahan because I find spending five minutes away from him tough.

Want to trade babies?

Yup. I've turned down lots of overtime over six years and two kids because I want to make it home in time to say good night

Swapping babies like hockey cards.

But for real being a league min guy in the NHL while his whole family is back home can’t be worth it, even if the salary is superior.

Nice to see more people making this choice early in life.

Fletcher should have known about this for a bit. Considering Tolvanen was just on waivers, it would have allowed the Flyers to grab him, if it was a terminated contract, no?

The termination happened after tolvanen being waived and claimed so I don’t believe it would’ve been allowed.

Probably was a total surprise to everyone.

This guy attended a Flyer fan event and was on the next plane out of town, Philly is good like that

The Torts in the NHL they say are mighty fine, but one rolled off the table and killed a friend o' mine.

I don't want no more of NHL life. Geee but i wanna go home.

He looked good in the games I saw. Phily isn't exactly oozing with talent either.

 

[mr4tno]

He didn’t seem to be doing too bad within the confines of his role? Just stats watching tho. Hopefully there’s nothing bad on the home front pulling him back.

Actually he sucked. No normal GM would have picked him up, but 1/3 of Fletcher's Flyers are waiver wire/AHL fodder.
