And has some offensive potential - and according to that player card, is VG defensively - and can play C

 

[MardyBum]

Axel go "zoom", much better than Harkins and most other Jets

I already stole your twitter post, sorry

 

[ffh]

So .... do we send Maenalanen down to make room? Barron? Perfetti? Maybe a Dman, Heinola?

Everybody that is waiver exempt except perfetti will likely go down. Doubt they put someone else on waivers.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

perfetti made the team, appleton may be injured so maybe they ir him nvm he is fine

Question remains. Who do we send down/waive to make room?

Maenalanen looks like the most obvious to me, but I liked what we saw of him. Is Axel better?

 

[Gabe Kupari]

They will go 2 7 plus 14

Toni and Axel extra forwards.
Capo extra D.

Ville and samberg will both be sent down. It's obvious at this point unless a trade is in the works but I doubt that

 

[gojetsgo]

I'll guess they send down a waiver exempt playing today and maybe they waive toni tomorrow and recall who they send down today

The Athletic had both on their top waiver targets. They has this to say about Axel:

"Jonsson-Fjallby has a lot of the coveted traits you’d want from an energy fourth-liner. He’s speedy, enormously disruptive on the forecheck, reliable defensively and can fill spot duty on the penalty kill. Jonsson-Fjallby split time between the NHL and AHL last season, suiting up in 23 games for the Capitals."

 

[Romang67]

He was very good on the PK for the Caps, over an obviously insufficient sample to draw conclusions from.

Quoting myself:



I don't know what else you people want.

He was actually one of the more productive Hershey Bears last season, and it seems like HFCaps aren't thrilled they lost him, so maybe there's something there? 23 NHL games doesn't support much of any kind of conclusion on that level, good or bad.

Only Don Cherry can say "you people."

Go with the flow I guess, David Gustafsson probably gets to room with the Swedish Fabio on the road.

Hockey wise I guess we'll wait and see. Seems like an upgrade on Harkins, but now the Jets have to demote 2 defensemen to the Moose, unless Appleton starts the year on IR, or Maenalanen gets sent down.

 

[bustamente]

It's possible that both Heinola and Snerg go to the Moose with Copa as the PB popcorn dude if both Apples and PLD are ready to go Friday

Send Harkins down, now that he has cleared. Send Snerg and Maenalanen down and we are at 13, 8, 2 = 23 man roster

 

[bustamente]

This Axel guy kinda fits Bones and what he want's to see from the Jets, quick, hard nosed fore checking shifts

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Maybe they aren't impressed with Toninato and maybe this guy pushes Toni to waivers and

Send Harkins down, now that he has cleared. Send Snerg and Maenalanen down and we are at 13, 8, 2 = 23 man roster

Doesn't make sense to have the young D sitting so I doubt it. 2 7 14 also = 23. 2 extra forwards makes more sense than 2 extra D.

I'm all in favour of a strong forechecker. We've missed that since loosing Armia and Tanev.

That's a possibility, but it means Stanley - Schmidt.

I have no problem with Stanley and Copa in the PB.

I guess they could waive Toni but I think we would miss his versatility. They can send Meno down while they get a good look at Axel. Bring him back if Axel, or another 4th liner falters.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

We have 2 forwards who are a bit banged up right now. It makes zero sense to keep 8 D when all 8 are fully healthy

2 extra forwards. 1 extra D. Not hard to call up ville or Samberg if they are needed

 

[snowkiddin]

So it’s actually Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and not Axel Fjallby-Jonsson? Too bad, can we still call him Axel F?

 

[voyageur]

He was very good on the PK for the Caps, over an obviously insufficient sample to draw conclusions from.

Scott Arniel who was coaching the Caps is probably the link to bring him here.

What is a Fjallby? Whatever.

A village in the mountains.

 

[gojetsgo]

hopefully it works out we will still have 2 years of control after this one

 

[DannyGallivan]

A village in the mountains.

Ah, a real estate deal. Smart! Think outside the box for revenue, Jets, then maybe we can afford to ditch those ugly Canada Life patches.

 

[surixon]

I'm wondering if Barron is the forward that goes down. He's missed most of camp and .ay need some more games to get up to speed.

This guy seems to have similar tools to Tanev and we all know how much his speed and forechecking ability helped the Lowry line.

 

[Jet]

Moose bound I'm sure. Unless we got some injuries.

He has to stay up or hit waivers again, I guess if he clears a second time but seems kind of silly?

A FJALLBY is a small weasel-like rodent native to the Swiss Alps.
