Flyers 4th line can be good. Upgraded with speed and offensive capabilities, I feel they can be effective and possibly take on more minutes than Flyers 4th units of yesteryear. A couple of things that still concern me are Akeson's turnovers and defensive side of the puck abilities. Rinaldo has to play on the safe side of that dangerous edge he likes to play on. That hit and pass for Akeson's goal against the Caps turned out to be a nice play for the Flyers but I could easily see that being called a boarding/charging penalty as well, negating any goal. The other question mark is Bellemare's durability and adaptation to the NHL rinks and if he can sustain over the lengthy grind of an NHL 82 game campaign.

He's been awful since week 2. He needs to let plays that get called/matched from the other side ride out. I don't think I've ever seen a running back cut back and run backwards as much as McCoy these past few weeks.

They won't stick. They'll have to break them up to fix that tragedy of a third line.

When does Umberger report to camp? Anyone know?

Ha yeah I don't see that unit sticking together long term. I can easily see Powe getting called up. A tried & true role player.

Unless Akeson can get bumped up to the 3rd or 2nd unit barring injury - which I don't really see, I think Akeson might be back down in the A/claimed by another team.
