*Because time is a flat circle, there are eight players on this year’s Flyers roster that we can trace all the way back to the team’s inception. [BSH]
*Folks are already focused on the 2025 Draft, which is wild, but apparently these are the kids we should be keeping an eye on as we move through the season. [ESPN+]
