The Philadelphia Flyers decided to slightly shock us all once again on Friday afternoon, when they decided to put 24-year-old winger Wade Allison off on waivers and give all other 31 NHL teams a chance to snatch him up for free.
In a league where logical asset management feels so popular, letting a young forward with some potential to be more than he currently is, go walk away from the team that drafted him in the second round not too long ago, feels foreign. Allison was seen as a hot prospect not too long ago and at one of the first chances the team has, they put him on waivers.
