*Hey, not sure if you guys might have heard, but the Sixers went ahead and landed themselves the biggest name on the market this summer. You may know of him. Anyway, what if the Flyers were to try and do the same thing? [BSH]
*Anyway in actual News, the World Juniors Summer Showcase is kicking off this week and there are a few Flyers kids taking part. [BSH]
*Also big news over the weekend? Matvei Michkov scored a Michigan! A sign of things to come, one hopes. [BSH]
*Speaking of Matvei, there’s no one around here that thinks he is going to begin the season high on Rick Tocchet’s depth chart, given what we saw last season. But there’s a way for him to work his way up to the top, we think. [BSH]
*We also heard this weekend of a trade rumor that we, and probably you, find a little bit distressing. Danny, do not do this. [BSH]
*So last year the Flyers made the playoffs. The year before, they did not. This sequence has only happened a handful of times in franchise history and we thought it’d be interesting to see what happens in the season that follows. [BSH]
*Said it before and I’ll say it again, summertime is for ranked lists. Nothing gets The People talking like a ranked list. Here’s one ranking all of the active #1 overall picks in the league. Why not? [Sportsnet]
*While we are talking rankings, the BSH Summer 25 Under 25 series has begun! First up on the list, at #25, is a kid we just selected. Welcome to the club, Brek. [BSH]
*Okay, if you were picking the biggest on-ice villain in Flyers franchise history, who ya got? [The Athletic]
*And finally, on Danny Briere’s big swing, and why it wasn’t big enough. Parody. [BSH]
