Akeson has been no more then average, and hasn't earned a longer look. Nothing wrong with competition for icetime.

That's just, like, your opinion, man.

AKESON IS A PHILLIPS HEAD SCREW, BERUBE WAS TRYING TO USE A FLAT HEAD.

Quite possibly the worst analogy ever.

If you value your sanity, you won't!

So, somebody give it to me straight: Did Akeson get sent down or something?

Ok. I do dishes, cook, drink beer....

Giving your worst even-strength players less even-strength icetime is a good plan in my books.

But I'm not an NHL head coach.

I'm not saying your stupid for suggesting it, I understand the motivation behind the suggestion. It was one bad season in his first season as a Flyer. It's a new season now, so I suppose Lecavalier will have to play himself on to the fourth line again.

The best example I think I can give is JvR's situation early during Couturier's rookie season. I think JvR being taken away from Giroux and Jagr had more to do with how ineffective Hartnell was in a checking role then JvR as a legitimate top line winger. In the end Hartnell had a career season, Pronger got hurt and we needed D to place him.

Nah, he was just scratched vs Dallas and will probably be scratched again tonight

There were a couple that she looked OK in, and a few more where...well, she didn't.

All I got from that was that Berube's trying to screw Akeson [out of a roster spot].

That guy was fast and nothing else. Man am I glad he's gone!

Maybe he's just trying to screw him. Nothin wrong with some man love. Maybe Claude could join in.

Who?

So, people on the Pens board are saying they'd do Maata for Simmonds.

In a vacuum, it's probably a fair trade. But given the Penguins current lineup, the fact that they're a divisional rival, and given the Flyers future window and prospect pool, I said Pittsburgh would have to overpay for Simmonds, if he's even available to them at all. Thoughts?

From the Flyers stand point, they'd probably need another offensive forward coming back, even if it was a modest one. Simmonds is the closest thing the Flyers have to a natural goal scorer/sniper at the moment.
