*The Flyers handed out another two-year contract over the weekend, this time locking up Phantoms’ defenseman Helge Grans. [BSH]

*Lucky for us, we have Noted Phantoms Expert Maddie Campbell here to fill us in on what Grans’ second season with the team looked like. [BSH]

*Keeping with the Phantoms, Maddie also dove into new-guy Jacob Gaucher’s year, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. [BSH]

*Speaking of goalies, the Flyers need one. There are a few ways they could go about getting one. [Inquirer]

*In other news, the Flyers elected not to hand out contracts to three of their less-promising prospects. [BSH]

*Turning toward the draft, James Hagens continues to be the guy that it seems like most Flyers fans are hoping falls to 6 for Danny Briere to take. [NBC Sports Philly]

*And on your Community Draft Board, we’ve made it through pick 32! Up at 30 over all you went with a center who isn’t great at anything but tries real hard. [BSH]

*At 31, you picked a Swedish forward plagued by inconsistency. [BSH]

*And finally at 32, another Swedish forward, but this one comes with a cannon. [BSH]

*One can never really know what another person is thinking, but here’s what we think we can infer from how Danny Briere went around re-signing Tyson Foerster. [BSH]

*On Ryan Poehling’s season, during which he proved to be quite a useful guy to have around. [BSH]

*In something that is likely relevant to your interests, an early look at the players who will likely be available via trade this summer. [The Athletic]

*And finally, this weekend marked the inaugural Gaudreau Family 5k, and it turned out to be a really lovely morning of celebrating life. I really want to thank everyone who donated to our little group fundraiser. I think it’s really neat that we were able to contribute something substantial toward the Gaudreau’s project. You’re all the best. [Inquirer]
