Waived: Sabres claim LW Axel Jonsson-Fjallby off waivers from WSH

[Zman5778]

It was my understanding he was just Mike Grier. That he doesn’t have much of an offensive touch. Which is good enough for me.

That's pretty much what I get too.....Mike Grier. Maybe a bit less of a battler on the boards.

Put him with Girgensons and I think that's quite the defensive-oriented duo. Hinostroza or Caggiula with them could make for a very good defensive line.

I wonder if pairing them up with Okposo could make them LOG-esque????

I guess players should hold off on their apartment until they clear waivers.
-----------------------
Biron told the story of how he got an appartment in Rochester, slept in it one night, and never went back for 6 months because he was called up.

I wonder what the longest nameplate in Sabres history has been?

 

[Chainshot]

Axel Jonsson-Flowbee.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Props to Buffalo. Name plate is right.

From what I can tell looking through the Sabres’ all-time jersey number list, it’s Ruotsalainen (12 letters).

 

[Buffaloed]

He should be a good contributor to game day comments. We're already looking at dropped an axle, the wheel fell off the axle, and buried to the axle. Rob Ray we say I have to axle him how to pronounce his name.

I immediately thought of his hyphenated brother from another mother, Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, which, if you count the hyphen in the surname, is also 12 characters, and is an all-time great hockey name.

edit: there's also some guy whom I don't remember, Lou Franceschetti, 13 characters.

The new guy bflows that out of the water.

Fjord is just easier to remrmber….

Off the top of my head, Grand-Pierre is also 12 characters (counting the hyphen)

This guy is gonna be a case of hair today, gone tomorrow

Scratched for tonight’s game….equipment guys need more time to sew on letters?

I remember him from his Upper Deck card

With Curtis Leschyshyn checking him. That’s a long combo of last names

They didn't have any umlauts in stock.

that's a low bar..

Unless the league pushes that date out because the season is starting ~10-14 days later than usual due to the offseason COVID schedule.

Can't tell from your post if you mean pick up a goalie on waivers to fill a spot vacated by Eakin, or to move Eakin for a goalie. I don't think any NHL team is trading for Cody Eakin, even at 50% retained, as for the remaining 50% of his salary paid by the acquiring team, the acquiring team could instead sign a better value player for </= $1.1M.

in hockey language, his name translates as "Mike Grier with hands".

I was thinking Bishop for Eakin @ 50% to be honest. They save Cap and get a forward and we get a goalie

Does anyone know how long the right of Washington to re-claim him remains in effect should Buffalo place him on waivers?

that's a low bar..

Hey - they could have spelled it Jonsson - Flowbee

 

[elchud]

So if we do 14 forwards 7 D and 3G he makes the roster.

If Murray or Peterka make the roster they both need to play regularly. Which is why I think they don't make the roster just yet. If A J-F isn't contributing and doesn't look like an NHL regular after 20 games uou can waive him and promote Murray or Peterka.

The roster limit is 23. So, you cannot have 14F 7D & 3G.

Well...fine! Maybe 2 goalies.

I assume that you are referring to Washington being able to claim him on waivers and subsequently send him down to the AHL without his having to clear waivers. Keep in mind that this would require Washington to be the only team to place a waiver claim. Washington would have have ability through the rest of the season.

They’ve messed up nameplates before.
