It’s Wednesday! Here are your links.

### ICYMI

[Katya Knappe: PPP’s T25U25 #9, Josh Leivo](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/2017-toronto-maple-leafs-top-25-under-25-josh-leivo-is-back-for-one-last-time-at-9/) We managed to put Leivo in the top ten despite no one being very enthusiastic about his situation.

#8 will be coming out at 8:00 AM.

### Around The NHL

[Sportsnet: Free Agent Roman Polak Resumes Skating Wearing Leafs’ Sweater](http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/free-agent-roman-polak-resumes-skating-wearing-maple-leafs-sweater/?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) I hope Roman fully recovers and gets a nice one-year contract in the Western Conference.

[Calgary Flames T25U25 #9: Mark Jankowski ](https://www.matchsticksandgasoline.com/2017/8/22/16117228/flames-top-25-under-25-10-mark-jankowski-calgary-flames?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) The Flames’ towering 2012 first-rounder seems to have really come into his own this year.

[San Jose Sharks T25U25 #18: Noah Rod](https://www.fearthefin.com/2017/8/22/16184492/top-25-san-jose-sharks-under-25-no-18-noah-rod-finally-arrived-but-will-he-stay?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Spare the Noah, spoil the (sh)Ark? I don’t know, it’s too early for Biblical puns.

[Nashville Predators T25U25 #3: Kevin Fiala](https://www.ontheforecheck.com/2017/8/22/16170746/nashville-predators-top-25-under-25-3-kevin-fiala?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Fiala is genuinely a cool prospect. Very dangerous offensively and could get a chance to put up real numbers for Nashville this year.

[Arizona Coyotes T25U25 #10: Christian Fischer ](https://www.fiveforhowling.com/2017-coyotes-25-under-25/2017/8/22/16183886/top-25-under-25-10-nhl-arizona-coyotes-tucson-roadrunners-christian-fischer-begins-the-top-ten?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Arizona has a million good forward prospects fighting for jobs in the NHL next year. They really sucked last season, though, so improvement will probably only bring them to a more respectable kind of missing the playoffs. Still, there might be something special happening for the Coyotes by the end of the decade.

[Colorado Avalanche T25U25 #1: Nathan MacKinnon](https://www.milehighhockey.com/2017/8/22/16183446/colorado-avalanche-top-25-under-25-nathan-mackinnon-the-undisputed-nhl?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) MacKinnon was swallowed by the hideous morass that was Colorado last season, but he’s still an excellent young player.

[The Hockey News: Why Zetterberg’s Potential Two-Year Retirement Plan Is Worrisome For The Red Wings](http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/why-zetterberg-s-potential-two-year-retirement-plan-is-worrisome-for-red-wings?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) It’s hard for me to see the Wings actually having serious competitive worries in 2019, because they’re probably going to be bad still. Maybe they’ll get a crackerjack draft pick or something.

It’s August, so things are quiet in the hockey world. Bask in the sunshine, or complain in the comments, whatever you like.
