Need the extra spot when they somehow trade for Adam Fox

 

[Aqualung]

Carolina’s got something cooking

 

[Soundgarden]

He had some good hype surrounding him a few years ago.

 

[viper0220]

I think he gets claimed.

 

[Martyros]

Welcome back to the Kings organization.

 

[krutovsdonut]

will he be bjorn again with a new team?

 

[funky]

does he not go back to the Kings because he was claimed from them earlier this year?

 

[Telos]

NGL, hoping the Kings reclaim him. He isn't flashy and is a little bland, but easily can develop into a 4-7 NHL defender.

 

[cwede]

not how it works, this isn't baseball

the benefit Kings have is that,
if they claim, and make only claim,
having waived him earlier this season,
they can immediately assign to AHL without (re)waiving

He made it all the way to Vegas last time and has done really nothing since, so wouldn't be overly shocking if that's the case

We couldn't get this guy as part of the Hanifin deal? smdh.

Now's your chance

 

[Ebbert]

Tobias Bjornfot could be a good 4th D but he needs to have playing time so he can get confidence back. Always liked him with Sweden junior !

 

[Dead Coyote]

Hope Arizona puts in a claim, maybe he can play well for us.

he's really not that bad, just about as vanilla as they get though

his first pass ability would probably be of value to a team like arizona

 

[LAKings88]

Well if LA passes on him, if available, I guess it means they have been there done that.

Management didn’t seem all that sad to let him go.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Don't see LA not re-claiming him given they're one bad slice of pizza away from a left side of Moverare-Englund-Connauton

 

[Osprey]

Blake will probably re-claim him if only to save face after losing Anderson-Dolan on waivers. "I didn't want to lose JAD, but, look, I got our boy Tobie back!"

i dont want either of them back ..

 

[Rorschach]

Yup and this is why LA gave Moverare that little two year deal. It was because Vegas loves to poach LA players just because. They don't consider the player's career at all.

Tobias was claimed because of injuries, then he injured himself out of the gate.

I don't believe this is correct because after waiving by LA, Vegas then waived him and assigned him to Henderson. That ends any claim LA would have. This is a second waivers by Vegas so LA would have to waive him again to assign him to the AHL.

This is his first time through waivers with Vegas. He was on an LTI conditioning stint with Henderson before.
