*Are you getting tired of mock drafts yet? I’m sorry for linking so many. But there are so many. If you subscribe over at Charlie’s website, he’s got Round 1 of his mock for you to consider. [PHLY]
*Rounding out today’s mock draft links is another one from The Athletic. Evidently the failing New York Times will be doing at least one mock draft a week for the next month. [The Athletic]
*While we’re talking drafts, here’s the #15 overall in your community-ranked draft. Good job, folks. Nearly halfway through. [BSH]
*One of the Flyers’ recently acquired prospects is hoping that this is the year he’ll be able to make the jump to pros. [Inquirer]
*Speaking of prospects, did you need someone to tell you it’s okay to be psyched about Matvei Michkov? Probably not, but it’s nice to know anyway. [Bleacher Report]
*Turning to actual NHL hockey players… Cam Atkinson. It was a real rough year for him, and it’s fair to ask if he can still be an effective NHLer. [BSH]
*Marty Necas may be looking for more than the Hurricanes are willing to offer him and as a result the rumor mill’s a’churning. And naturally the Flyers are right in there. [BSH]
*Few things better than your team scoring a playoff overtime goal. And the most fun is when a guy you’d never expect is the one that scores is. I can’t read this article but if the entry for the Flyers isn’t Dan Carcillo’s 2010 OT winner against the Devils I’m going to riot. Let me know in the comments. [The Athletic]
*We got the Stanley Cup Final schedule from the league yesterday and good lord, the hockey season has gotten way too long. [NHL.com]
*And finally, it’s Friday, so we’ve got Flyperbole! [BSH]
