*One of the Flyers’ late-round draft picks from this year’s draft is heading from Finland to Harvard, which is pretty neat. Don’t see that path taken very often. [NBC Sports Philly]
*If you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website, you’ll want to check out his season review for Owen Tippett, which also includes some thoughts on what he might look like in the upcoming season as well. [PHLY]
