So big thanks to Garnet Hathaway for having a little presser yesterday to tell us how much he likes being a Flyers. We like him too! [Inquirer]
*If you’re big into prospect watching you’ll get a lot of use out of this handy guide Meltzer put together, which tells us where key guys will be playing next season as well as running through the important dates on the prospect-watching calendar. Helpful stuff. [Flyers]

*And finally, it’s always nice to learn a little bit about Gene Hart. He was a teacher, did you know that? I didn’t know that. [Inquirer]
