Not a bad idea.

Yeah moar speed and tenacity seems like a good fit for the game plan under Bownes & Co. Someone's gotta score from that bottom six/ three, so hopefully Gagner, Barron and Axel F can pot a few. Not sure we're getting much from Saku or Gus at this point.

Obviously he's not a big add, plus I like it. Helps on the PK and he's a good skater

I wonder if this AJF add nudges Toninati onto the waiver wire (assuming no one goes onto the injury list), rather than a waiver-exempt D move?

Maybe I'm biased optimistic but I think this is going to turn into a very nice pick up for us. Hard working, energetic and constantly improving
Let’s see what he does, Maybe the coach has done a shamanistic casting of the Bones and can fortell some good omens for him..

Good to know. Now, what's a Romang? Are you a Beltalowda? :laugh:
It’s a kind of bitter Swedish Dick, a sort of useful hockey Detective..

Do we need either? Just wasted money; we have about 10 of these guys
How is it wasted money? It is something like $30,000 to claim a player and then they are just another tweeter in your system. Most have 2 way contacts and will play somewhere. The Jets are actually on the low end of teams in terms of professional contracts.

The Athletic had both on their top waiver targets. They has this to say about Axel:

"Jonsson-Fjallby has a lot of the coveted traits you’d want from an energy fourth-liner. He’s speedy, enormously disruptive on the forecheck, reliable defensively and can fill spot duty on the penalty kill. Jonsson-Fjallby split time between the NHL and AHL last season, suiting up in 23 games for the Capitals."
Sounds like he could be another potential Brandon Tanev, and the Jets could use a high energy, disruptive guy like this. Interesting, and I hope he works out. I was watching his Youtube highlights that someone posted on here, and he looks very fast, and can break to the net cleanly. I like what I see, and if he had 34 points in 44 games with Hershey, he just may be a real good pickup.

Well, he looks great, so I hope he can play as good as he looks ? Maybe he'll attract some female posters on here, or in the seats. Hope the guy works out.

OK, but take away the professional makeup artist, hair stylist and photographer and here's what you have left.

Not so hot now, is he? Huh? Huh? I'll bet the ladies (and @Jet ) are un-swiping him now. :laugh:
