*Zack MacEwen is fun, huh? Oh, Flyers lost. RECAP!
*Okay let’s just start here:
I plan to curate a formal goodbye but for now I wanted to acknowledge this change. Philly will always be a major part of me and my family. This picture seemed fitting. Thank you for absolutely everything❤️ pic.twitter.com/gzNm1gp5kZ

GAH. Okay, anyhoo,
*Chuck made use of those freed up contract slots yesterday, signing one of the top Phantoms to an NHL deal. [BSH]
*We also got a few little injury updates from the team. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Monday’s deadline went precisely as most people expected it to. And that’s fine. [Inquirer]
*It is, however, a pretty strong indictment of the organization that they had to sell two years in a row. [NBC Sports Philly]
*And now, with the trades done and over with, the focus turns squarely toward the future. [The Athletic]
*And we’ll put a bow on the trade deadline with a ranking of all 32 team’s Monday moves. [The Athletic]
*Owen Tippett looked good in this first game! Which is good! [BSH]
*So, who’d you like to see get the C next season? [BSH]
*Heading over to the Panthers blog to check in on how excited they are to have Claude Giroux on their team. [Little Box Cats]
*The Panthers aren’t going to have a cake walk to the Conference Final, though, as a few teams in the East got better Monday afternoon. [ProHockeyTalk]
*New BSH Radio dropped yesterday! [BSH]
*And finally, if nothing else, we — the fans, the City — made sure G knew he was loved before he left. And that’s really, really nice. [BSH]
