[Gentle Man]

Seems like the exact player we need.

I fully expect him to get claimed

 

[iam76]

this guy is a pylon.. nobody will claim him shhhhhhhhh

 

[BlueOil]

will be interesting to see if he can handle the nhl again fresh off a gold medal performance, struggled to find a role with the blues 5 or so years ago

Such a better hockey player now. No more getting caught out of position.

 

[TheFamousFart]

Pretty safe D these days, dont react much on him wich is a good thing for an D like him. Does his work well.

 

[Chaos2k7]

Solid low risk #6, and an actual lefty for our bottom pair.

Carlsson and Juolevi go to Charlotte.

 

[crowi]

He's not going to be some world-beater, but he is pretty solid as a defensive player now. Good to see him get a shot.

Carlsson and Juolevi go to Charlotte.

Neither are waivers exempt, and we would only need to send one of them down anyway.
Juolevi would be the obvious one because while he has looked fine, Carlsson has been very good on the bottom pair.

agreed, would much rather have Carlsson available should someone (God forbid) go down.

They could also just send Mamin down who is waiver exempt if they dont want to risk losing any of them

Since he needs to clear waivers it will be interesting to see if he gets by Arizona/Seattle/Montreal/Buffalo

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Why does he need to clear waivers, that makes no sense. Was he not free to sign with all 31 other teams in the league?

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Was always hoping he’d make it here, good luck Petteri !

There's a blanket rule that if you played in a different league during the current season and are a UFA you have to clear waivers

Exactly like Krejci

Who is first on the waivers list? Gotta think Florida spoke to Arizona and agreed to give them a conditional 7th or something to claim him before anyone else could.

Signing guys who aren't on your team's reserve list have to clear waivers after a certain point in the season.

Arizona can't claim him and trade him to Florida right after.

I think if anything Montreal needs to clear space on the left side not bring in another guy, they have a couple guys knocking on the door and one more if Harris signs. Maybe since they're likely to move both Chiarot and Kulak but I'd be surprised

 

[ugrakarma]

Reijo Ruotsalainen ruined it for everyone.

 

[uncleben]

They technically can, but Arizona would first have to waiver him again, and he'd have to clear...
Which would, by design, defeat the purpose of the trade

I can see Calgary or some other team taking Lindbohm at 750k.
Even if the reasoning is simply, "keep another decent asset away from Florida."

They might but they risk ticking off Marcus Lehto who is a pretty prominent Finnish agent and the agency Wasserman

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Did he clear the waivers?
