*That’s right, Keith Yandle! Chuck signed him yesterday. [BSH] [Inquirer]
*It’s free agency day, the new July 1, if you will, and the Flyers still need a goaltender. Let’s look at some options. [BSH]
*But might the Flyers decide to go the trade route instead? [NBC Sports Philly]
*Either way, Charlie has a full breakdown of the whole market and who might be best for the Flyers right now. [The Athletic]
*Chuck’s done a lot of adding on the back end, a little tweaking to the top end, but what are we looking at in the middle? [BSH]
*Anyway, let’s talk about Cam Atkinson. Let’s let his excitement infect us all. [BSH]
*Oh yeah by the way, the Capitals signed Alex Ovechkin to five more years. Dude’s 100% definitely getting that record. It’s going to be so neat. [Japers’ Rink]
*The Vegas Golden Knights traded Marc-Andre Fleury — he just won the Vezina, in case you forgot — for... nothing. Nothing. [Knights On Ice]
*And finally, a new Flyperbole! Kurt joined Steve this week which is always a good time. [BSH]
