They did.. but I think with the Flyers adding PEB and Umberger (and potentially another forward in UFA) and with the way Akeson played in the playoffs.. he wasnt worth the risk of cap space loss

I thought he was replaceable with a guy like Kulemin or Moore or Pouliot.

As much as I bemoaned the Hartnell deal, this team should take a lot less penalties without Hartnell and Downie here. If Rinaldo doesn't play, they may actually be outside the top 5 in minors taken

Tis true, but they will likely draw fewer penalties as well, and, lets be honest, 5v5 play is not a strong suit.

A little surprised to see Joe Pavelski's name. Dubinsky I hate but I know I would have loved as a Flyer. John Carlson hurt. Tim Gleason I wanted along time but way over it. Everyone else, bluh. I hate, hate, hate Maxim Lapierre. Hate that guy. He's like a way less talented Mike Riberio.

I know. I still don't think this team is better than they were last year unless Schenn and Couts take a huge step forward and become guys who can produce offensively and defensively

#SJSharks' GM Wilson on signing John Scott: "As we integrate more younger players to our team, John's presence alone can act as a deterrent"

A deterrent to what?

If Holmgren reads this he'll think "You mean you can actually acquire picks in a trade?"

I was going for the joke there more than an actual refutation of your point.
