*Let’s wrap up this combine stuff by taking a look at how the Top Hockey Kids performed in various and sundry tests and measurements. [Inquirer]

*Wrapping up the combine means now the draft stuff is going to kick way into high gear, which means people are going to start proposing silly things like trading the 6th overall pick for Something Else. [The Ahtletic]

*Anyway back to things that will actually happen: could the Flyers go a little off-board and pick a Big Boy Defenseman with that 6th pick in the draft? [NBC Sports Philly]

*Related, Charlie takes a look at the potential surprise picks the Flyers might go with on draft day. [PHLY]

*Over here on the BSH Community Draft Board you folks have selected a boom or bust Big Swing at 36th overall. [BSH]

*Regardless of who the Flyers draft, the team that Rick Tocchet is inheriting is going to be a young one, which means that, for the first time in his coaching career, he’s got the opportunity to grow with his players. [BSH]

*After last night we’ve got a leader in this Stanley Cup Final, which is shaping up to be one for the ages. [Sportsnet]

*One reason for that is the unbelievable play of Connor McDavid, who, in case you didn’t notice, is doing some history-making shit right now. [TSN]

*And finally, on Matvei Michkov, who will almost certainly become the Flyers’ first ever $10m AAV player. And rightfully so. [BSH]
