Report: Flyers’ Jori Lehtera a suspect in Finland cocaine ring

Jori Lehtera, a veteran center who is battling to win a roster spot with the Flyers, is one of 23 suspects involved in a cocaine ring in Finland, according to Finnish news outlet MTV.

Lehtera, 30, a Helsinki native, denies any involvement, the news outlet reported. MTV said that about two kilos of cocaine were involved, and that some of the suspects were arrested at Lehtera's summer home.

Lehtera is considered on the roster bubble, and there's a chance the Flyers will send him to the AHL's Phantoms.
