*Friends, family, lurkers, regulars… Matvei Michkov is coming. He will be a Philadelphia Flyer THIS SEASON. Let’s. F*cking. GO.
*So you say you’ve added a top-line forward two years earlier than expected. Does this mean you’re changing your offseason strategy? [BSH]
*Maybe this doesn’t change your drafting and free agency plans but what about those elusive hockey trades? [BSH]
*Related, those pesky Flyers-Senators trade rumors keep kicking up. There are some deals to be made there, we think. [BSH]
*And here’s one move each team should be thinking about this offseason. [The Athletic]
*Oh right, there’s a Game 7 tonight. Because why wouldn’t you hold the literal marquee event for your sport on a Monday night at 8pm? Big night for both teams but maybe even more so for the Florida Panthers, because losing means… infamy. [TSN]
*A lot of their success is going to ride on which version of Sergei Bobrovsky shows up tonight. [Sportsnet]
*The Oilers, for their part, are feeling pretty swaggy. And rightfully so! Anyhoo, who are You People rooting for? [Sportsnet]
*We’re also five days out from the draft (AND OUR DRAFT PARTY!!! The way the stars are aligning this one might beat the time Dan Hilferty bought all of our drinks. BE THERE!!!) and for your convenience we’ve compiled all of the mock drafts, to date. [BSH]
*Wheeler’s final mock dropped yesterday, this one’s not in there. [The Athletic]
*The way the original Flyers continue to make the Philly area Their Place will never not be heartwarming, and it extends all the way down the shore. [Inquirer]
*And finally, our latest bit of offseason nonsense with this week’s Saturday Music Club! We’re taking it way back with this one. [BSH]
