Waived: [CAR] F Brendan Lemieux waived by the Hurricanes (cleared)

[Curufinwe]

I liked him on the Kings, he wears his heart on his sleeve and is evidently a very well-liked person in the locker room. He has better hands and scoring ability than most bottom 6 pests and scrappers, but he isn't a heavyweight and will get his clocked cleaned if he squares up against one, but will stand up for teammates and have their backs. Biggest draw backs is he can go cold and his reputation is extremely poor with officiating - he would routinely get called for penalties which sure many were deserved but quite often there would be no reason for it or it would be pretty borderline; however, he would obviously never get a pass or benefit of the doubt and would be sent to the box quite routinely.

I was surprised the Kings gave him to us for MacEwen, and threw in a 5th. MacEwen is AHL level.

 

[Lt Dan]

I bet someone will claim him.

If no one claims him, you have to mail everyone on HF $3 USD

 

[Mr Kot]

So Mario is his uncle?

He's a monkey's uncle.

Make sure you shake on it

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Is he any good?

Absolutely not.

 

[Lt Dan]

Make sure you shake on it

 

[Osprey]

Hes been fine when needed, scores against previous teams, and will mix it up for his teammates

At the rate that he's going, he'll end up a 30-goal scorer because every team will be a previous team.

You guys realize he's not related to Mario Lemiuex, right? His dad is Claude Lemiuex.

Forsberg's cousin. Well, Peter's, so Filip's 2nd cousin.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

You guys realize he's not related to Mario Lemiuex, right? His dad is Claude Lemiuex.

Who is also not related to Claude, but Claude is related to Jocelyn.

 

[EpochLink]

He ain't his father that's for sure.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Welcome back to LA I guess.

 

[vandymeer13]

Come on hawks. Take him over most of our forwards and he's cheap

 

[robbieboy3686]

Wouldn’t be surprised if the ducks claimed him. Ross Johnston + lemuix would make for a nasty 4th line

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I wouldn't mind the Canucks taking him on as playoff depth.

 

[SR]

Yea, that's how big the hit was. It jumped family trees.

Gold

 

[Armourboy]

Surprised Trotz doesn't claim him, feels like we've claimed everyone else this season.

 

[CDJ]

Him and Trent Frederic fight every time they see each other, kinda want him on the bruins so Trent plays pissed 100% of the time

 

[Ironmanrulez]

Another Flyers Legend! The league is full of players who are good enough for the flyers, but not good enough for the league!

Its so telling!

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Carolina must be loading up. All of these waivers to open up roster space.

 

[MinJaBen]

He’s actually playing in the game tonight, so that’s weird.

 

[Siludin]

Probably not even as good as Clod.

He's Klobb Lemieux

 

[gabevh3]

Probably not even as good as Clod.

Claude and not even close lol

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Anaheim ducks will pick him up

 

[gabevh3]

What are you the hf swindler? jk
