Waived: [WPG] F Axel Jonsson-Fjallby waived by the Jets (cleared)

[Mrfenn92]

He's gotta be better than the fodder in Chicago, I don't see why they pass on him this time. Love his hustle, forecheck and jealous of the flow, he's definitely an NHLer.

Don’t see it happening with half of chicago’s injury list skating and not far from returning

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

This ain't a trade, it's a GOD DAMN waiving.

 

[Rudy Russo]

MIke Sullivan loves Harkins too much. So he will not be claimed if available by the pens.

 

[ChrisProngersEYE]

Caps should pick him back up. Especially if they're looking to move Mantha, Pacioretty and Aube-Kubel who are all UFA wingers.

YASSSS!!!!!

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Avs will take him. He can't be worse than Johansson. I'm not even joking. I wish I was.

It's been a bit shocking how bad Johansson's been. I honestly thought Colorado was a good destination for him.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

My guess is he's claimed by Pittsburgh or New Jersey. Unless Edmonton media claims we're interested in submitting a claim. In that case I'd expected the Flames.

Those Swedes.

you would think so...who knows what the plan is there...

 

[Esq]

Of course the best hair in hockey has spent a lot of time.... waived.




I'll show myself out.

No please stay!

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I'd like him in Ottawa as LW4. Part of that desire is because I'd like him in camp next year, even if he just ends up getting waived before the new season.

 

[Michel Beauchamp]

He's cleared before, I wouldn't be shocked if he cleared again.

Picked up twice, cleared twice...

 

[Armourboy]

It's been a bit shocking how bad Johansson's been. I honestly thought Colorado was a good destination for him.

I mean lots of people thought he might be useful in a more limited role, but its not that shocking that he's not been great. He was pretty meh already, and that was before the injury at the end of last season.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Hope Rangers can snag him. He'd add some speed

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Hope Rangers can snag him. He'd add some speed

All while eliminating some offence.

 

[Vitto79]

Rangers need speed and have a roster spot with Bonino out.

Played for Laviolette in WSH

All while eliminating some offence.

Pitlick and Jake L are not gonna be better


May aswell take the speed and forechecking

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

Avs will take him. He can't be worse than Johansson. I'm not even joking. I wish I was.

He won’t last until the Avs. He’s getting claimed for sure.

 

[canuckslover10]

Penguins could use him imo.

 

[jetsforever]

Definitely wouldn't be surprised to see him get claimed, but I hope he doesn't

 

[Petes2424]

If the Leafs put in a claim, he can run cover for Bertuzzi, for a good 2-3 weeks, until half the fans figure out Bertuzzi cut his hair off. They’ll just see the hair and boo the wrong guy for awhile.

 

[TS Quint]

He can whip the puck pretty good when he gets the chance as well.

It's a weird narrative that he doesn't have any offense. Last season he scored at the 4th highest rate on the team, this year he's scoring at the 8th highest rate, ahead of Scheifele, Iafallo, Lowry, Namestnikov.

That's not to say his offense would scale the same with more ice time, but given his opportunities he's actually produced well.

He has no offense. You’re playing with small samples and coming to small sample conclusions.

It would never work. Bertuzzi vs. AJF is like a before and after ad for hair care products. They'd notice the lack of stringy, lank, unwashed locks right away.

 

[DFAC]

I just want the Canucks to claim him so we have the league's best hair with him and Brock

How it started

How it’s going

 

[Vitto79]

Can he play C?

 

[hn777]

He has no offense. You’re playing with small samples and coming to small sample conclusions.

Actually, in 76 GP and a total TOI 674:49 at 5v5 this and last season, he has scored goals at a higher rate than guys like Perfetti, Lowry, Appleton, Wheeler, Namestnikov, Iafallo, and Kupari.
And this is done from the fourth line with primarily defensive zone starts, and low level quality of linemates.

He is absolutely a capable NHL'er and not without offensive prowess.
