Free Akeson = success!

They're going 60-0-1 the rest of the way now that the Akeson distraction is gone. That guy tried to breathe air in the locker room

That still wouldn't be good enough for some.

Luke Schenn out with an injury, while Umberger and Lecavalier playing on one line was dragging diwn this entire team.

In a nutshell, these are the guys with serious value.

Yeah, Akeson has been the real problem here so lets waive him. I can see another team pick him up and become the next Sharp 2.0

Good that they waived Akeson. Hopefully he clears, and can be sent down. Kid needs to be playing Hockey, not sitting.

To me, it was pretty evident he wasn't going to get a fair shot here for whatever reason.

He worked hard enough to get a crack at the NHL in he first place, and deserves a shot to continue having hockey be his career. If that's in the AHL or another team, I am glad they gave him the shot. Rotting away in the press box was the worst situation regarding development.

Wish him luck, wherever it may be.

I thought he had a decent training camp but I believe apart of why he made the team was because they would have had to waive him to send him down in October.

Yeah, I guess. Honestly, while I didn't expect a lot. I did expect that the least they would get a 3rd/4th line tweener who would put up 12-14 goals and 25-32 points for 2 seasons (I always figured they'd buy out the last year). To me, that was a better overall option than 5 years of an aging Hartnell at 4.75 million per.

However, since RJ Umberger has failed in even this most modest task, and instead has played like a total piece of (frank)ing poop each and every game this season, than yeah, it was a bad friggin trade.

However, even with Hartnell instead of the corpse, they are a bubble team at best. I'd rather that they out and out suck than be a bubble team, especially in this draft year. The way they are playing, they may well be looking at picking between 4-7 and that, at least, would be very nice.

I'm with you, BiggE. (frank)in 'tweens' are the worst.

Zepp has actually been fantastic. Every game I've watched, he's made some gigantic stops.

Watched live, or on TV somehow? Probably with magicsauce.
