*BIG NEWS RIGHT UP FRONT: in case you missed it, we dropped the full details of our 7th Annual Draft Party yesterday. I hope I see every one of you there! [BSH]
*Yesterday also saw the debut of John LeClair and Patrick Sharp as Flyers Employees, and their focus was decidedly on development. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Charlie, as usual, has the best rundown of what was asked and answered at the presser. [The Athletic]
*A fun thing to do in the dull moments of the offseason is read way too much into meaningless things like “photos of guys in jerseys.” [BSH]
*Back to Draft Stuff, if you spend any time on the socials media you may have noticed that a lot of fans that dig into draft prep are super high on the idea of the Flyers taking Zach Benson at seven. [NBC Sports Philly]
*And at the second 25th overall spot on the Community Board, a kid called Musty. [BSH]
*Projecting forward lines ahead of the draft seems like a fruitless exercise given the amount of movement we hope to see this summer, but hey, offseason fun is offseason fun. [Inquirer]
*The big big news yesterday was the announcement of this year’s Hall of Fame class, and apparently it’s goalie year. [TSN]
*Signing UFAs seems like the last thing the Flyers should be considering but as Charlie points out, gotta have warm bodies. He’s got a few that would fit the Flyers’ newly established timeline. [The Athletic]
*It’s just that the cap situation, as it stands, is less than ideal. [The Athletic]
*Looking at the whole list of UFAs is pretty bleak, which as we’ve mentioned, should bode well for a team interested in moving some assets. [Sportsnet]
*Related, how about some fun trade ideas?! [ESPN+]
*And finally, attendance numbers. Always interesting to look at, in my opinion. A good gauge of where a team stands. As such, the Flyers are where you’d expect them to be. [The Athletic]
