Blues waive Johannesson

Wonder if this portends future moves after last night’s game?

Dude makes $870k a year? wtf. That's more than Walker, Fabbri, and Kessel, and about in the range of Mailloux and Tucker. I would have guessed a number much lower than that. I can't even remember how the Blues aquired him, tbh...did we sign him to a FA contract?

At any rate, interesting.

[FortyOunceCurls]

Makes very little sense why his contract is larger than most rookie contracts.

[FortyOunceCurls]

Just saw he is waiver exempt

Who?

[Backesdraft]

Who?

Hahah…my question exactly.

[The Average Gatsby]

He plays in Springfield. He was placed on waivers for contract termination. Seems like a strange move for the blues but it’s possible that he wants to terminate the contract.

[sneptsmoustache]

He's already signed with Frolunda in the SHL...probably just wanted to go back to Sweden

How will history remember the Samuel Johannesson era?

He only would of made that if he was in the NHL. On the 2 way contract, he makes AHL salary of 82.5k.

no
Burns

and Gaudet are taking on bigger roles--Lindstein as well imo

[TruBlueFan_1970]

IIRC him and one other Swede were signed at the same time. The other was a forward. Had a cup of coffee with the Blues but never panned out. Don’t think Johannesson ever got a call up.

Bro's agent is Claude lemiuex?
No wonder he couldn't get an nhl contract

Wait... everyone still hates Claude lemiuex, right?

[smilinjoefission]

He was the other Swede they signed last season, they got rid of the other one last season Sylvegard.
