The Philadelphia Flyers have placed forward Jori Lehtera on waivers, general manager Chuck Fletcher announced Wednesday.
Lehtera was accused of buying eight grams of cocaine from a distribution ring in his native Finland over the summer. He's one of 22 people charged in the case.
The 31-year-old hasn't suited up for the Flyers since Jan. 19 and had recorded just three points in 27 games this season. His contract expires at the end of the 2018-19 campaign, owning a cap hit of $4.7 million.
