*Welcome to the final day of the Flyers’ preseason (tonight’s game vs. the Islanders, 7 p.m. puck drop), which means were are mere hours (like 170 or so of them) from the start of the season. And to make things fun, the roster is definitely not totally set! Charlie breaks down the battles that remain. [PHLY]
*Logically there is only one spot remaining, which really adds to the fun times. [Inquirer]
*Danny B. made the remaining roster battle a little easier by cutting a few more players yesterday. [Flyers]
*Travis Sanheim is probably going to make the team (it’s a joke, don’t ‘well actually’ me in the comments thx), and when he does he plans to do a lot of work to prove that keeping him this summer wasn’t a mistake. [Inquirer]
*Pierre LeBrun on Danny Briere, who is learning on the job and seems to be crushing it so far. [The Athletic]
*The hope is that in a couple of years, we’ll be talking about the Flyers being a team on the cusp of being a contender. Just a few pieces away from a Really Good Team. So how do you know when your young, developing team is ready to take the jump to Good? [Sportsnet]
*The fine Canadian folks at TSN continue their Top 50 ranking with numbers 30-21 (spoiler alert: there are no Flyers on this list. I know, you’re very surprised). [TSN]
*And finally, have you ever asked yourself, “hey buddy, if the Flyers were a song, what song would they be?” No? Well these fine folks did. Emo songs, specifically. If you’re into that kind of thing. [The Athletic]
