Connor Brown did not sign yesterday. In fact, many other players have yet to sign too. Cody Franson has not signed (or re-signed)! Jarome Iginla is still looking for a team. Even Jaromir Jagr is still floating around the hockeyverse in non-corporeal form, waiting for a contract to give him molecular cohesion again. No one is signing!

Oh, wait.

### Since you now all want ice cream... which flavour?

| It’s gotta be chocolate. Or double chocolate, with chocolate fudge!       | 65 |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -- |
| Mint. The neon green kind.                                                | 25 |
| Strawberry, please. Preferably with real fruit pieces in it.              | 31 |
| Anything with cookie dough in it. Just scoop it directly into my mouth.   | 43 |
| I’m nutty and like praline or pistachio.                                  | 28 |
| Butterscotch is where it’s at.                                            | 27 |
| Vanilla. I am sophisticated and appreciate its flavour, unlike you rubes. | 37 |
| Something else because I have to be different.                            | 60 |
