*Anyone else getting inordinately excited about the idea of two friendlies made up of nothing but rookies? No? Maybe? I’m excited. Here’s three guys who are probably going to need to perform well this weekend up in Allentown if they want to keep their roster dreams alive. [BSH]
*Chuck had a similar thought, and if you’re a subscriber over at his website you can check out his insight into which guys need to impress. [PHLY]
*While we’re talking kids, if Porter Martone is the most promising prospect currently in the Flyers’ system, who you got at 2 and 3? [Inquirer]
*Is one of those next two Alex Bump, in your opinion? Because he’s up at 11th overall in the Top 25 Under 25 ranking. Eleven with a bullet, really. Lots of expectations on this kid! [BSH]

*And finally, too early to look towards next year’s draft? NEVER! Literally never. [Sportsnet]
