Welcome back for the last edition of Links, News, and Notes before training camp begins. No, I can’t believe it either.
- As we approach the start of training camp, things are starting to rev up in the nation’s capital. In the aftermath of the Season Start-Up event, Ian Mendes has a good round-up and analysis of the latest and greatest over at the Athletic. Lots to chew on in there, but one thing I keep coming back to is that although the impact of the hiring of Chris Phillips might not have any effect on the on-ice product, it is heartening that such a well-respected former player has been brought back into the fold.
