*According to the Flyers’ official count, we’ve got 37 days between us and Real Hockey. That was Brian Elliott’s number. Loved that dude. Anyhoo, know who else we love? Number 6 on this Summer’s 25U25, Oliver Bonk. [BSH]
*Speaking of prospects, if you’re a subscriber over at Charlie’s website you can check out his Summer prospect ranking. [PHLY]
*While we’re doing everyone’s favorite offseason activity — reading ranked lists of things — here’s the latest ranking of players under 23 from the folks over at The Athletic. Guess who’s on there? You’ll never guess. [The Athletic]
*Looking back on Travis Sanheim’s season, which was an improvement over the one before. Hopefully that trajectory continues this season. [Flyers]
*The Big News league-wide yesterday was the Edmonton Oilers locking Leon Draisaitl up for the next eight years, for more money than anyone’s ever gotten before. Good for him. [TSN]
*That was one big bit of business handled, but there still remains quite a lot of unfinished business around the league as we draw closer to the start of the season. [Sportsnet]
*Back to local stuff, the University of Delaware is the latest school to add a D1 women’s hockey program, and here are five more schools who ought to follow the Blue Hens’ lead. [The Ice Garden]
*And finally, it ended up being a mostly quiet summer for Danny Briere and the Flyers’ front office. Here’s a bunch of things we wish they had done instead. [BSH]
