Confirmed with Link: Flyers To Buyout Remainder Of Cam Atkinson's Contract

[GapToothedWonder]

You know what, f*** you Atkinson you douchebag.

This team allowed your rotting corpse to play all year with great teammates to get you going, and you repay the organization by refusing a trade, a NTC we didn't give you.

He could have basically called it quits and sat on LTIR all year. No ones gonna sign him, so he's just lost out on 1/3rd of his salary.

Guy played less then 150 games for a shit team thats been a bottom of the barrel organization for over a decade. Why would he f*** up his life for them? He's barely connected to them.

One thing to point out is that Hextall inherited a lot of this trash. Now, has he reduced the waste in ways I would have hoped, no but that doesn’t mean he tried. Limited clauses and atkinsons declines are two big factors that reduced his value.

FTFY

Well I think you have to make any and all final subtractions now, before Michkov arrives so that you can use that as your new starting point with a good locker room.

Part of the reason they targeted Cam was he was a #goodlockerroomguy vs Jake who was a "problem" was Cam also a problem now? Maybe we need to shake things up in our locker room scouting department. Seems like these good locker room guys are all falling off a cliff when they get to Philly.

I don't think he was a problem in that sense, but he was an older guy just playing out his contract. It's just cleaning up the debris. It's really no big deal.

I think it was Vigneault who ran Jake out of town. Wonder who else was on that list. Ghost must be for sure.

Does he have a NMC or a NTC?

If its the latter, why didn't we bury his ass in the AHL and make him ride busses

Blame the guy that acquired Atkinson knowing his contract details opposed to blaming Atkinson for exercising the rights of his contract.

Guy is supposed to just willingly accept a trade to another bad team but on the other side of the country which he’s never lived in that region of the country. For what exactly?

Because protecting the feelings of veterans is very important to the Flyers. Also that wouldn’t open up much cap space this season.

Exactly. He doesn’t owe the Flyers anything.
