[Lempo]

"the nephew of former Hartford Whalers forward Jocelyn Lemieux"

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Meh

 

[AD Skinner]

 

[FlyingSquirrels]

Because this is exactly the type of player we need.

 

[chaz4hockey]

I’ll go against the posting grain…..approve.

 

[Brock Anton]

He's a douche, but we needed a 4th line douche for when other douches like Bennett, Haula, Wilson, Trouba etc. pull their douchey shit.

 

[Lempo]

Navin was bored and wanted something done.

 

[ndp]

This guy is literally good at nothing but getting his giant blockhead punched and spending an exorbitant amount of time in the penalty box. Net negative.

 

[AD Skinner]

New strategy- take a lot of penalties, outscore other team on pk anyway, forget about pp

He actually draws more than he takes by a fair margin. By being a colossal asshole, but hey, it works.

Yep. Cheap and tough to play against. Can't complain too much about a guy who's going to be on the 4th line and in the press box.

Are we sure it isn’t the other way around for the last few seasons?

I still say this was part of the package deal for Claude convincing Freddy to take a below-market deal. I mean I doubt it, but it's more fun that way.

The NHL read this post and will now investigate the Hurricanes for cap circumvention.

Low risk high reward. He's not veteran savvy like Stepan and Stasny but he is younger.

What’s the high reward with Lemiux? He knocks out Trouba in a fight during a future Canes vs Rags playoff series?

 

[The Faulker 27]

We needed a few assholes and now we have Bunting and Lemieux.

That would do it for me, by god

I mean, yeah, but Trouba would kick his ass.

Tommy Dundo had an epiphany perhaps? Saw his gorgeous skating team just shooting pucks into the goalie's chest and said we need more grit, douchery and old-time hockey mayhem. He's now got it with Bunting, Lemieux and TDA (assuming he comes back). These three can become our version of the Hanson brothers.

Twitter is teaching me that he is a biter AND a racist, of course. Has somebody contacted Sara Civian and made sure she wasn't "literally shaking" somewhere?

I have no idea if he’s a racist but he did in fact bite a guy in a scrum.

We've got a brand new Conboy?

Ain't he a beautiful sight!
