*Well that sure was a hockey game last night, huh? Low event hockey, baby. Psyched to watch this for the next two to three seasons. RECAP!
*Folks the smoke around Rasmus Ristolainen is THICK. Positively smothering. Let’s go, Danny B. [BSH]
*This will be GMDB’s third trade deadline with the Flyers, and we may be able to glean some things from the last two. [Inquirer]
*Along with the Risto rumors there is also a lot of talk of a Nic Deslauriers trade. Which is wild. Do that one too, Danny! [BSH]
*Adding even more fuel to the Nic Deslauriers rumor is the fact that the Flyers have signed Phantoms captain and noted Tough Guy Garrett Wilson to a two-way contract. He was AHL only before. Interesting! [BSH]
*The last guy on the “hey maybe this guy’s getting traded” list is Bobby Brink, which makes sense given the logjam at wing. [BSH]
*Alright now let’s get into what the Insiders™ are Hearing™ as of last night… evidently the Flyers called the Blues about Robert Thomas. Reassuring, I suppose. [The Athletic]
*We’ve got some Thoughts from Elliotte Friedman, who is always good for some well-sourced speculation. [Sportsnet]
*And here’s the latest Trade Board from the noted experts at The New York Times. [The Athletic]
*Deadline’s not done yet but as per usual, a bunch of trades have already gone down this week. Which means we’ve got trade grades, baby! [ESPN]
*And finally, the defining move of this season for Danny Briere came with mixed reviews. He has the chance to change that today. Let’s go. [BSH]
