*So rookie camp was SUPPOSED to start yesterday, but the Flyers are a bunch of silly gooses and postponed until this afternoon. The top prospects will take the ice this week and it should be fun to watch, if you can get there. [CSN Philly]
*Eyes will be on guys like Ivan Provorov and Travis Konecny, who are hoping to make the team sooner rather than later. [Highland Park Hockey]

*The 25 Under 25 keeps on moving along with the next victim, defenseman Robert Hagg. [BSH]
*Claude Giroux should be coming into this season with a little chip on his shoulder given his usage in the World Cup, which bodes well for us. Angry Claude is a fun Claude to watch. [Sons of Penn]
*On the continued growth of the hockey analytics movement. [Puck Drunk Love]
*And finally…a human rights complaint over the NHL charging babies for tickets. What a time to be alive. [CBC]
