  • You know the names, now it is time to see some of the new young faces at Development Camp. Boston Globe
  • Questions will be answered over the camp session: Who will demonstrate growth? What is Urho Vaakanainen’s style? Is Anders Bjork ready to roll? Boston Herald
  • Get down to Warrior Arena- these are the quintet of youngsters you need to see. CBS Boston
  • Ryan Spooner has now filed for arbitration. It is time to give him his legitimate shot as a center- or lose him for no return at all. WEEI
  • As far as free agency, maybe another go with Jaromir Jagr is in order? Or maybe scoop up Thomas Vanek - if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Metro/Boston
  • American Bruins offered patriotic greetings over social media yesterday. Bruins NHL

Elsewhere around the rink:

  • Pekka Rinne wrote about the sudden ending of the Predators season, and of his promise to Nashville. Players Tribune
  • Sometimes a bad experience serves as a good example. The Penguins have brought in Kevin Stevens to talk to their youngsters about his recent conviction. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
  • Connor McDavid has been paid and the Oilers captain will be around for a very long time. He left money on the table to achieve that goal. Puck Daddy
  • Sometimes NHLers leave money on the table to select the team they wish to play for. Denver Post
