*The 25 Under 25 is officially underway! Don’t forget to check back every day to see who is next up in our ranking, and be sure to roast us in the comments every time you think we’ve done a poor job. We love that. First up at 25th overall is a guy who never seems to be able to make it out of Lehigh Valley: Samu Tuomaala! [BSH]
*Speaking of prospects, one that always seems to be hyped up by The Smart Folks in the Flyers-sphere, Alex Ciernik, will be playing under Flyers legend Sami Kapanen this season. That’s pretty cool. [Inquirer]
*So no one on the Flyers has even SNIFFED 100 points since Claude Giroux did it back in 2017-18, when he was robbed of a Hart Trophy. So who’s going to do it next? We think we know. [BSH]
*Now that the Mason McTavish rumors are out there, you gotta ask: should the Flyers do this? [BSH]
*Alright what are we supposed to get hype about this season? What will The Big Stories be? Here are some ideas. [The Athletic]
*And finally, “what will we be hype about?” actually has a really easy answer for us Flyers fans. The answer is, of course, Matvei Michkov. Who will bring fun and joy back into our hockey lives. And who is doing weird fun stuff while practicing in Russia this summer. Because he’s fun! [BSH]
