Akeson was traded to the Senators on Saturday.

Akeson was cut by the Sabres and placed on waivers Saturday, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Akeson was not handed any discipline for his hit on Ottawa's Colin Greening, Don Brennan of the Ottawa Sun reports.

Akeson will have a disciplinary hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety for a hit he delivered on the Senators' Colin Greening in Wednesday's preseason contest between Buffalo and Ottawa, TSN's Steve Lloyd reports.

Akeson signed a two-way deal worth $575,000 Wednesday, reports John Vogl of The Buffalo News.

The Philadelphia Flyers have inked Jason Akeson to a one-year, two-way contract. Akeson had 24 goals and 64 points in 70 AHL games in 2013-14. He's worth keeping an eye on during training camp even if he's far from a safe bet to make the team.

The Philadelphia Flyers have made a qualifying offer to Jason Akeson. The 24-year-old was a pleasant surprise in the post-season after playing in the last game of the season in each of the last two seasons. Akeson managed two goals and three points in the seven game series against the Rangers and that play, along with a 24 goal, 64 point effort in the AHL in 2013-14, was enough to warrant a qualifying offer from Philadelphia.

Jason Akeson scored the only Flyers goal in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers in Game 7 of their first round playoff series. Akeson's third period tally cut the Rangers' lead in half, but the Flyers weren't able to draw any closer. Braydon Coburn and Matt Read picked up helpers on Philly's solitary goal.

Jason Akeson has been a pleasant surprise for the Flyers in the playoffs. Akeson was recalled for the final regular season game and has played in all five playoff matches to date. He has a goal and two points in the post-season and has averaged 12:06 minutes of ice time in the series. The 23-year-old should have a great chance to crack the Flyers lineup next season as he had 24 goals and 64 points in 70 AHL games this season.

It was a big turnaround in Game 2 for Jason Akeson. Akeson scored his first NHL playoff goal on Sunday and it came after he took a double minor in Game 1 which resulted in a couple of power play goals for the Rangers which put the game out of reach. His power play goal tied the game at two apiece. "I don't think a bad penalty is going to determine if I play harder or not, I try my hardest no matter what," Akeson said. "It was unfortunate for the first game, but we looked past it. We won the second game, and now we look onto the third."
