Thursday Morning Fly By: The end of an era.

*Big big big news yesterday was that, seemingly out of nowhere, CSN Philly decided to let Tim Panaccio go. [BSH]

*We know the Flyers instantly improved through this year's entry draft, but how'd our Metro Division enemies do? [Sportsology]

*It's not clear if the Flyers are targeting any free agents (besides Jordan Weal. Maybe? Probably.), but here's how this weekend's UFA madness might impact our rivals. [Daily News]

*Well how about Brian Elliott? We still have that goalie problem to solve. [CSN Philly]

*Meltzer looks back on new Hall of Famer Mark Recchi's time as a Flyer. [Flyers]

*The Dallas Stars have officially bought out Antti Niemi. STAY AWAY, RON. [Defending Big D]

*And finally, it can't be officially announced until July 1, but Connor McDavid's new contract is setting the bar pretty, pretty, pretty high. [Puck Daddy]
