Hi there, all you folks out there in web-land! PPP's T25U25 proper kicks off this morning at 9:00 AM with No. 25\. We'll be doing one prospect per day Monday-to-Friday for the next five weeks, with weekend opportunities to recap and for the community to have its say over the Hive Mind. The future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Here's what else is happening on-site and around the hockey world:

### ICYMI

[Acha for T25U25: Why We Should Believe in Kasimir Kaskisuo](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/maple-leafs-top-25-under-25-why-we-should-believe-in-kasimir-kaskisuo/) Acha takes a closer look at one of the Leafs' goalie prospects. I think we should nickname him KasiKaski or something.

[Species for T25U25: How Did We Do Last Year?](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/top-25-under-25-how-did-we-do-last-year/) Let's just forget that whole [Richard Panik](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71886/richard-panik?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) thing ever happened.

[Katya: Why I'm Not Worried About The Leafs' Cap Situation](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/capn-crunch-why-im-not-worried-about-the-leafs-cap-situation/) Katya's often the voice of calm in our internal discussions. Here she lays out why you shouldn't lose sleep over bonus overages and the like.

### The World At Large

Ice age, heat wave, can't complain.

[Fear The Fin: Sharks T25U25 No. 8, Barclay Goodrow](http://www.fearthefin.com/2016/8/7/12395762/top-25-san-jose-sharks-under-25-no-8-barclay-goodrow?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Other sites are also doing T25U25s. The [Sharks](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/san-jose-sharks?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)' No. 8 appears to be a British mercantile bank.

[Silver Seven Sens: Sens T25U25 No. 21, Chris Driedger](http://www.silversevensens.com/2016/8/5/12386464/ottawa-senators-top-25-under-25-21-chris-driedger?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Also what [Chris Kreider](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71824/chris-kreider?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) calls himself when drunk.

[Second City Hockey: Blackhawks T25U25 No. 22, Dylan Sikura](http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2016/8/5/12386936/blackhawks-top-25-under-25-top-prospect-rankings-2016-dylan-sikura?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Sometimes it feels like every prospect now is an NCAA kid.

[Winging It In Motown: Top 25 Detroit Red Wings Under 25, Anthony Mantha](http://www.wingingitinmotown.com/2016/8/7/12391570/detroit-red-wings-top-25-under-25-anthony-mantha?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) WIIM doesn't appear to actually rank their T25U25, which takes all the fun out of it if you ask me. Anyway, [Mantha](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/199015/anthony-mantha?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is about due for a longer look at the NHL level, even though his AHL performances have been in the good-as-distinct-from-excellent range.

[Pensburgh: Happy Birthday Sidney Crosby](http://www.pensburgh.com/2016/8/7/12396994/happy-birthday-sidney-crosby?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Crosby turned 29 yesterday. If he retired today, he would make the Hall of Fame at his first eligibility. I feel like people don't appreciate how incredible that is.

[Defending Big D: Dallas Stars Future Outlook, Summer 2016 Edition](http://www.defendingbigd.com/2016/8/7/12363178/dallas-stars-future-outlook-summer-2016-edition?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The [Stars](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/dallas-stars?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) are good now, the Stars ought to be good later. Aside, though--the Stars give up a lot of dangerous chances. I suspect any goalie they trade for might find that out.

[Blue Seat Blogs: Ranking the NHL GMs Part One](http://blueseatblogs.com/2016/08/07/ranking-nhl-gms-gorton-fit/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Can't get your fill of rankings? This one features NHL GMs 30-21, in the eyes of the author. #30 will not surprise you at all.

[Puck Daddy Summer Series: Weird Carolina Hurricanes](https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/puck-daddy-summer-series-weird-000000781.html?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Puck Daddy is going through teams and their weird histories for the summer. Here's Carolina.
