The Philadelphia Flyers don't know what to do with 770-game NHL veteran Cam Atkinson, and his $5.875 million cap hit. The San Jose Sharks have offered a trade, but Atkinson has refused.
Per top NHL insider Darren Dreger, the San Jose Sharks have made an offer to the Philadelphia Flyers for veteran Cam Atkinson. In 770 NHL games, Cam Atkinson has surpassed the odds of a sixth round pick, with a 40-goal season, and several 60-point seasons under his belt. Unfortunately, he has hit the age curve, and now 35 he is no longer the player he once was.
He is still, however, a great veteran presence which makes the move for the Sharks logical. Per Dreger, he is not interested in that trade.
The Flyers are trying to trade F Cam Atkinson, and there is interest from the San Jose Sharks. However, Atkinson isn't interested in a trade to SJ. Per, Darren Dreger.
Buyout remains an option this offseason.

It is possible that Cam Atkinson will be bought out this off-season if a trade is impossible. It will certainly be interesting to see what comes next for the 35-year old.
