*Danny Briere made the mistake of mentioning a theoretical Carter Hart trade on Philly sports radio, which of course lead to a lot of “going to trade Carter Hart” takes, but Briere would like you to calm down. That’s not what he said. [The Hockey News]
*Oh and where did the new Flyers GM clarify this? On BSH Radio, of course. Have a listen if you haven’t:
*A right-handed defenseman is up next on our community draft board, and here’s hoping the Flyers can resist the urge to take him at seven. [BSH]
*Maybe we pass on a “solid two-way center” too, huh? Like just for fun maybe we swing for it and get ourselves a flashy goal scorer. Maybe. [Inquirer]
*Related, Pronman’s latest ranking just dropped. And he’s got a whole new guy at 7th overall. [The Athletic]
*Yesterday’s victim in the BSH Player Reviews was Cam York, who was another of those little tiny bright spots in the dark last season. [BSH]
*We’ve got a few days here before the Final starts, which gives us all time to consider if we should have seen the Florida Panthers coming. [ESPN]
*It’s honestly kind of sweet how hard Brady Tkachuk is rooting for his brother. And he plans to bring that enthusiasm to the Sens next season. [TSN]
*And finally, could this be one of those years when a loser wins the Conn Smythe? If Vegas takes the Cup, it could be. [Sportsnet]
