I.E.
It's so funny that last season's Stanley Cup Champion and runner-up both have use for Bjornfot but the Kings don't

Need to give this guy a viking funeral at manhattan beach but instead of a funeral pyre boat it'll just be an old surfboard

Guy is great at building 31 other teams though

I imagine that Blake would've claimed him if he hadn't just given Moverare an extension to dissuade other teams from claiming him.

On the flipside, what's interesting to me is that the rest of the league basically passed on him twice. Maybe the sky's not falling after all...

Out in LA
It's always surprising to me when a player slides all the way to one of the top teams in the NHL. if he's good enough for FLA, you would think a lot of other teams higher up on the waiver list would have claimed him first. How does FLA have roster room for other teams' castoffs?

Yeah, I don't feel good about this as a Kings fan.

Hopefully Zito caught another good one here.

Low cost depth D pickup for Florida

After deadline, there's no roster limit, just cap limit. Florida has enough cap space. We're going to have like a 25 man roster lol

Florida is doing amazing with reclamation projects on D.

Bjornfoot must be quite excited

He probably thought the same thing getting claimed by Vegas. Played 4 games with Vegas , just over 9 min TOI. Maybe he'll get better there.
