*It was a holiday in Canada yesterday, what with it being a civilized nation with at least one three-day weekend a month, and as such the hockey world was mostly on vacay. But not us! We kicked off this year’s Summer 25 Under 25! [BSH]
*We started things off with a tie, and the first of the two kids tied for 24th overall is defenseman Spencer Gill. [BSH]
*It would appear the Flyers have prospects on the mind as well, as they brought us Part 1 of their two-part prospect directory, in case you’re wondering where you can find all these kids during the upcoming season. [Flyers]
*If you really want to go in on some prospects, the U18 tournament is happening. [Sportsnet]
*Matvei Michkov isn’t a prospect anymore, technically. You’ll find him pretty easily on every single Calder Trophy list up until the award is given. [ESPN]
*We, collectively, talk about Tyson Foerster a lot. But is it possible it isn’t enough? The upside on this kid is potentially very, very high. [BSH]
*And finally, another thing we all talk a lot about is the “core” players of a team. And what they should be paid. It’s a question facing pretty much every team in the league. [The Athletic]
