*We heard from GMDB yesterday, and we’ll get to that, but first: big congrats to our old pal Brayden:
*So yeah, Danny Briere wants you to know the team isn’t tanking. They won’t be good, probably, but not on purpose! [Inquirer]
*We also learned that Cam Atkinson and Sean Couturier are, as the kids say, so back. [Sportsnet]
*Charlie has a few observations from the presser. [PHLY]
*There is a big red question mark floating over Joel Farabee heading into this season but there’s one thing we know for sure: when it comes to players under 25, he’s at the top of the list. [BSH]
*Training camp opens tomorrow and if you’re interested in going, the Flyers have released a full schedule for you. [Flyers]
*We’ve got a 32 Thoughts! You know it’s hockey season when the print version makes its debut. [Sportsnet]
*As we all know, every ranking every compiled and released to the public is wrong and must be picked apart and ridiculed, but this one… COME ON, JOE. [Bleacher Report]
*Does anyone else get mad when they think about the players that haven’t had a shot to play in the Olympics because of the NHL’s crappy policy? I get mad. Players do, too. [The Athletic]
*And finally, player polls are always fun. This one is extra fun because there were some actually good answers and some actually interesting questions. [ESPN]
