*We know that Dan Vladar is going to get a contract extension at some point — he’s earned one, after all. But the details are starting to get flushed out and if the rumors are correct, then here’s hoping Vladdy Daddy isn’t a one season wonder. [BSH]

*Related, the Inky’s annual Flyers fan polling has revealed which players You People want to see back and which you don’t care that much about at all. We love to hear Opinions! [Inquirer]

*While we’re talking about which players we like, how’s about a look at Denver Barkey’s grades for this season? [BSH]

*This might be the summer that Danny Briere starts making some trades, so we’ll be keeping an eye on the trade boards as the Insiders release them. This one is interesting. Some interesting names on here. [Sportsnet]

*Obviously it would be the most fun if some Big Huge Names got moved this season, so here’s a little check-in on the star players who could plausibly get moved this offseason. [ESPN]

*Between the end of the season and the day of the NHL Entry Draft, there are about a billion mock drafts released by about a billion different Hockey Minds and Media Members and Noted Insiders. And when you ask these dudes to pump these things out so frequently, things are bound to get a little unhinged every now and again. [The Athletic]

*And finally, while we are talking draft, next up on the BSH Community Trade Board is a defenseman with a plausibly high upside. [BSH]
