Not a bad player, just not someone you want in your NHL lineup too often. Maybe his dad will pick him up?

Not a good player, just not someone you want in an NHL lineup too often.

NJ is chock full of potential defensemen and have two RHD on their roster who they might move to help depth elsewhere... so no, he's not getting claimed by Jersey.

Could this be more in line to move Jokiharju off of IR?

If they "paper" waive one of the eligible players it wouldn't be listed on the normal waiver wire, would it?

 

[Sabresfansince1980]

I look at this move as what had to happen anyway for Jokiharju to get back on the roster. The next move will be the real interesting part.

Two kids of 90s NHL guys! Although I wonder what his autocorrect tried to change Leschyshyn to.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Least surprising move of the season. Maybe Casey can find his game again with the Amerks.

 

[toddkaz]

Thank god, he is just awful. Probably wont be claimed but one can hope.

It might make for an awkward next phone call with mom if he doesn't.

Haven't they said publicly that they don't want to be involved on the same team.

And they had Wolanin last year as someone who shuffled around the waiver wire as another child of a former player.

Not that I recall.

And a couple years ago, they had Al MacInnis’ kid.

I recall that from when Fitz debuted.

 

[Gabrielor]

Depth guy. This happens to depth guys.

 

[Der Jaeger]

If he clears, Adams has 2 defenseman in Rochester who he can call up. Which is good news.

 

[old kummelweck]

Not that I recall.

I can't see them just putting Joker back in. They'll want to get him some practices.

Sabres liked Fitzgerald. Probably was a hard decision to possibly lose that depth if he gets claimed.

Possibly means Jokiharju is the 7 tonight.

Some hoped he would develop into a Borgen replacement
Did not play tough either

Yeah, but it's absolutely crystal clear that Clague has played better this year.

Probably won't get claimed, but you never know.

[allsilverdreams]

Who?

 

[Kulich Man]

Could see him as a 7 on a really stacked defense. Think he clears.
