Johnny Oduya News

The Flyers have claimed Johnny Oduya off of waivers from the Senators.

Oduya doesn't offer much fantasy value at this point in his career. Even while playing on the top pair alongside Erik Karlsson he couldn't muster more than a measly 8 points (4G/4A) in 51 games this season. Nevertheless, he adds some much needed depth and stability to the Flyers' blue line.

The Blackhawks have acquired Johnny Oduya from the Stars for Mark McNeill and a conditional fourth round pick.
