A youngish, impactful defenseman could be had for nothing on the waiver wire.
The Detroit Red Wings placed 28-year old defenseman Jakub Kindl on waivers on Saturday morning. With a relatively cheap contract, and only two years remaining on his deal, Kindl represents an intriguing option for a Flyers team fighting for a wild card spot. This is one of those rare opportunities to cash in on a player whose negative perception doesn't match his positive on-ice impact.
A big, mobile, and offensively-inclined d-man could mesh well in Hakstol's aggressive system.
