Waived: [CAR] F Brendan Lemieux waived by the Hurricanes (cleared)

[miscs75]

I genuinely didn’t know he was still in the NHL. Bottom line depth piece that doesn’t PP or PK, takes stupid penalties and suspensions, and has caused friction in locker rooms. There are far better ways to fill a roster spot - I don’t see him getting claimed.

Locker room issues you say, I know the perfect team looking for a hole to fill since the departure of Tony DeAngelo

5th line quality. Should be in the AHL.

I thought Brendan was married to Mario and Claude was their son?

Hockey is so confusing!

No kidding. I was really lost so went directly to the likely parties and just asked.

Claude: Claims he disowned/emancipated Brendan a few years ago. I asked why and he indicated that it was nothing personal, just a kneejerk response to Brendan's "general suckage".

Jocelyn: Inferred something that I can only interpret as "spawn of the devil". Perhaps I got that wrong, but to me it seems Claude and Jocelyn have unresolved issues.

Mario: Only response was "who?"

I didn't know he was still around.....not an NHL player.

As a Ranger, my only memory of him is when he chirped Max Domi that he slept with is sister

I understand it’s all nepotism but the fact he has more than like 50 games played is insane. He’s never been an NHL level talent or even close.

I mean he's no phenom but he's a good 4th line plug. He plays the game hard, stands up for teammates, and plays physically. He did well for us in spot duty last year. It's not at all nepotism. No one cares who his father is. He's a good 13th or 14th forward, and is paid accordingly, and plays accordingly.

Cleared, to the surprise of absolutely no one.

It is wonderful to watch people like him fail. It's like taking a vitamin for me. May he ride the bus in perpetuity.
