Waived: Jori Lehtera on waivers! 2/7/19 - Cleared and loaned to LHV

[Rebels57]

I've noticed a considerable difference in the way AMac has played vs the beginning of the year. I don't think he has been bad. Hagg is the liability out of the defense. I wouldn't turn down an offer for AMac just to finally move on from him, but I don't think he needs to be moved or anything. He is down on my hit list right now

He's playing less and no longer against top players. He's still terrible, but his usage is more ideal right now and is limiting his blunders.

woooooo worst player in the league!

 

[WIP CALLER]

Meh glad to see him go but would prefer a young guy to take his spot though, not friggin Corban knight.

 

[CocoCrisp]

It's all sunshine and rainbows now until you realize we have nobody to replace his all star level board play. Nice going Fletch.

Won't be long until Knight squeezes his way into the lineup and becomes our next whipping boy.

As would I, but repeating this perspective: Fletcher is the boss and he’s been with the organization for two months. You have to at least give the existing employees a look before you fire them, in a sense, even if your plan is to do so anyway.

 

[Harhis]

Fletcher is slowly but surely doing all the right moves.

Bill has to be the next one waived.

It is difficult to be patient, but the guy has three rosters and other prospects to familiarize himself with while also getting ready for a draft run by a staff he didn't know.

Fletcher mentioned Myers in a coop press conference about a week and a half ago. He said “He’s playing for a spot on the team”. I imagine, once Knight is off IR and has a spot on Gordon’s lineup, he replaces Varone. Varone should be sent down. Could be a spot for Myers to slowly gain time on the roster. Once Morin is done with his rehab assignment, I can see Myers being sent back down unless he plays better than Amac, Folin, and/or Hagg.

Prices are blowing up over there with rumors of Pappa Jori coming home. I kid around...

HOT DAMN!

Way to BE FLETCH!

This is more or less inconsequential, especially since rosters will expand at the TDL. But the message is just wonderful. He was a contractual albatross that netted us an extra 1st*. Jori is bad at hockey, and should not be taking up space, regardless of the alleged activities back in Finland.

The little things are important, I think Fletch understands that. I bet he always puts the toilet seat down, won't leave a trash bin without a liner. He cares, and I love him for that.

If only Grant Fuhr was GM in Edmonton.... our problem would be solved

 

[Flyerfan4life]

hakstol must be having a nervous eye twitch these days..


hahaa all his fav. toys are going going gone...

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Varone and Knight at least haven’t been around long enough for me to actively hate them. Lehtera waived means only one guy remains from the Axis of ****. Andrew MacDonald, you’re on the clock.

Axis of shit made me laugh so hard. I wish you had come up with that earlier!

 

[Striiker]

Nah, it’s just @hatcher ’s boy taking out the trash like he said he was going to.

All hail Hatcher.

Except Hatcher said he was going to get rid of guys like Giroux, Voracek, Ghost, etc

He must be furious that the good players are still here.

[hatcher]

I want different players then simmonds or v and ghoist.those days are done with players like this here.

I may have said it before, whether here or elsewhere

 

[kudymen]

Someone will claim him .... ugh, no

The Finnish cops could claim him

 

[Curufinwe]

Did they practice today?
