Overview
- New Jersey announced Thursday that Juho Lammikko was placed on unconditional waivers to terminate his contract.
- If he clears on Friday, Lammikko becomes an unrestricted free agent eligible to sign elsewhere, including in Europe.
- Pro Hockey Rumors reports Lammikko refused an AHL assignment to Utica after the Bjugstad acquisition, a claim not confirmed by the team.
- The 30-year-old center logged two assists in 24 games for the Devils this season while averaging under 10 minutes per night after an early injury and stretches as a healthy scratch.
- Florida also placed forward Josh Davies on unconditional waivers for contract termination; the 2022 sixth-round pick has yet to play an NHL game and has spent most of his pro time in the minors.
