Anyhoo, BSH continues to be the best website on earth and as such have looked into how much worse (or better!) the Flyers will be based on their Wins Above Replacement. [BSH]

*Another guy who is planning on this season being better than his last? Jack Murtagh, who is hoping to bounce back from a bit of a rough freshman year. [BSH]
*Is this the first nepo baby on this year’s 25U25? I think it is! Cole Knuble, come on down! [BSH]
