According to a report from a Finnish press service that has since been published by David Isaac of Courier Post, the 30-year-old policeman from his home country was questioned about his involvement in a cocaine network.

Seven people are already behind bars in connection with a few pounds of snow that began to spread in Finland earlier this year. At that time, Lehtera is one of 23 suspects likely to be related to cocaine and his cottage was raided earlier this summer in connection with the investigation.

The Flyers issued the following statement regarding allegations Wednesday afternoon.

During his brief four-season NHL career, the former star of St. Louis Blue and KHL has raised more than $ 21 million. Perhaps the only logical explanation is that the guy is a little dissatisfied with some of the investments he has made so far with this money and could explore new ways to diversify his financial portfolio. Some people would inject their money into hedge funds, exciting startups and real estate. But when you have the opportunity to sell drugs to your team's new mascot, you have to take it. How could you explain Gritty's dilated pupils and his endless energy?

Joking aside, whatever happens and whether or not these claims hold water, they must be quite Lehtera's distraction during one of the most important weeks of his career. His production quickly declined compared to the 14-goal, 44-point campaign he made in his first NHL season in 2014-15. Last year, he had just three goals and eight points in 62 regular season games, his first with the Flyers after being traded with a few draft picks for Brayden Schenn. These are not totals you want to see with an annual cap of $ 4.7 million.

Young men like Jordan Weal and Corban Knight seem to have felt the blood in the water. They have achieved solid performances at the Flyers camp and will seek to steal the veteran's place in the team.
