Fresh Links: Development Camp, Day One Edition

Hooray for Development Camp! Although there's not much monotony to break up this summer, what with CBA talks, crazy free agency/trading, and the recent draft, it's still good to see the kids take to the ice and show us what they've got. Apparently Malcolm Subban is continuing his troll life ways and wearing #81, Dougie Hamilton looks bigger, and Jared Knight looks stronger and faster. It's fun to watch these kids grow from year to year and this summer is no exception.

After the jump, details on Dougie Hamilton, a history of Bruins' dev camps, the LA Kings jump into the You Can Play pool, and more...
