Fresh Links: It's Been A While Edition

So I met this kid on Saturday (Matt Grzelcyk). He was really nice!

So after a few months off, we're going to start doing lunch links again. It's been a nice time away, but it's time to get back to business. Free agency is only six days away. How convenient - it's even on a Sunday this year. All across the States and Canada, noses will be glued to computer screens in the hopes that Free Agent Frenzy is not a dud like it's been a few times recently.

Aside from that and the draft, we've also had the schedule come out recently for 2012-2013. Barring a lockout, who's planning trips to other cities this year? One highlight is that the Bruins come to Chicago and Nashville in February on President's Day weekend for back to back games on that Sunday and Monday. I'm not saying, I'm just saying...some of y'all should come.

After the jump, a new Bruins prospect makes the top 10 most awkward draft photos, Andrew Ference is still Captain Planet, and Roberto Luongo to Florida?
