*Happy Rookie Game Weekend, Flyers fans! The unofficial kick-off of the season, in my opinion, and the point at which we are firmly no longer in the offseason. Yesterday The Kids took the ice for practice in Voorhees, and one Kid was noticeably absent. [BSH]
*Two guys noticeably NOT absent were Denver Barkey and Oliver Bonk, who are aiming to make a big impression on the Flyers’ brass at this year’s camp. [Inquirer]
*Our old pal Chuck was boots on the ground at the Flyers Training Center and observed all kinds of interesting things during the kids’ practice sesh. [PHLY]
*In fact it seems like a lot of stuff was learned yesterday, with lots of updates available for all of us to enjoy. [The Athletic]
*Anyhoo we’re up to number nine on the 25 Under 25 countdown and we’re moving away from prospects to young guys that are firmly a part of this hockey team. [BSH]
*Pronman’s redraft extravaganza continues unabated with a whole new version of the 2021 entry draft. [The Athletic]
*And finally, it’s Friday, how’s about an Olympic roster debate? WHY NOT! [ESPN]
