Disagree completely.
Maybe it's a small sample size, but from what I saw of Akim, he couldn't keep up to the pace of an NHL game. I watched him this year and mentioned to my dad that, "he doesn't have the foot-speed to play in the big leagues".
Unless he improves his skating substantially this offseason, I can't see him staying with the big club.
