Signed with European team Pelicans Lahti-Finland in Nov. of 2019.
Let go by Carolina
The Hurricanes placed Lintuniemi on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract Thursday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
ANALYSIS
It's possible Lintuniemi, who was originally selected by the Kings in the second round of the 2014 draft, requested to have his contract terminated after receiving very little playing time with Carolina's AHL club early on this season. The 24-year-old blueliner will likely head overseas to continue his playing career.

2014 Fantasy Outlook
Lintuniemi looked like one of the bigger reaches of the first two rounds of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. He finished the season as North America's 187th-ranked skater, according to Central Scouting. He plays for Ottawa in the OHL, so the Kings certainly got a good look at him. When you win two Stanley Cups in three years, you can afford to take risks like this.
