I'm not surprised at your myopic view of things that ignores all the factors except the one that you think best justifies your view.

LOL, I can see it now. Akeson finally gets his shot to play with the middle six and some pp time for a while and he starts producing and gains confidence and starts playing well...when the time comes, you'll say something like "it had nothing to do with the coach finally playing him with this player or that player, or getting pp time, it's because the player finally did what he needed to do, he came out hard and skated and competed and played well away from the puck. Let's hope he can keep it up. I have my doubts."

I'm not surprised that you can't keep the posts on subject about the player, and have to get personal. Not to mention that you're completely wrong in saying that I ignored all the factors. I simply debunked them for the excuses that they are.

So, the even smaller sample size in a miscast role from this season in terms of minutes, outweighs the larger sample size in a more suitable role from last season, most of which has the added pressure and spotlight of the playoffs?

Ok...right.



I'm pretty sure that if Akeson had the 8-10 or more points he'd likely have if played in the middle six, he'd be in the lineup.

Look, it might not be in the cards here for Akeson. Berube seems to favor the larger, grittier players that are faster and harder on the puck over skilled, finesse types. The Flyers can't really afford to get softer, I get that...I just think it's a shame because in the right situation, I believe the kid can put up something like 40-60 points at the NHL level and help to provide some nice secondary scoring at what would likely be a very good price I wouldn't want to see the Flyers undervalue that asset and sell low or just discard him...his value probably pretty low these days, so it would be in everyone's best interest to showcase the kid at some point...put him in that role he should be in and really see if he will sink or can swim, before deciding what to do with him longer term.

All Akeson'ed out. We have a difference of opinion.

60 points is first line Winger material. Only 26 Wingers in the entire NHL put up 60 points last year. Better reassess.

Yeah figures you didn't want to answer the question that was asked. All Akeson'd out? B.S. you don't get all anything'd out...that was just a cop out.

Asked and answered multiple times. Answer isn't going to change! Situation has been discussed ad nauseum. I disagree with you. End of story for me. Nothing else to be gained by continuing to debate it.

You want to make it personal. Not interested.

You'd be better served reassessing the point totals that you think Akeson is capable of putting up at the NHL level.
