*Would once again like to point out that at this stage of the offseason nothing is happening and the links, they are sparse. But yesterday featured some World Junior’s Showcase action that is relevant for us, as a few of the Flyers kids looked pretty, pretty, pretty good:
USA White wins it 7-3 against USA Blue. Cole Knuble (PHI) with 2 goals for White, and Cutter Gauthier (PHI) and Gabe Perreault (NYR) each a goal and an assist. Quinn Finley (NYI) with a goal and an assist for USA Blue

*Then some dude said this, which is pretty neat to think about:
Cutter Gauthier is going to end up being the MVP of the #WorldJuniors, isn't he?

*Okay enough tweets; the big (re: only) news yesterday was that both Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson will be ready to go for training camp. [NHL.com]
*WAIT! Not the only news! There are new jersey numbers for next season! [NBC Sports Philly]
*Sean Couturier better watch his back (oh no, too soon) because Noah Cates is shaping up to be a pretty sick shutdown guy. [The Hockey News]
*Taking a look at the best five moves of this offseason and what they mean heading into this year. The Flyers did not make any of these moves. You may be shocked to hear this. [The Athletic]
*And finally, one would expect that the guys making the most money are the best guys. The best players. But how’s that shake out in reality? [Sportsnet]
