Your savory breakfast links:

  • The third line was an increasingly big issue for the Caps this season; next year, GM Chris Patrick would like to fix that, whether with an internal or external solution. [RMNB]
  • Bogdan Trineyev could be a good depth option for the Caps next season – so what does he bring to the table? [THN]
  • Happy, 61st birthday to Chris Felix, and happy 35th to His Honor, Nic Dowd!
  • Finally, because Becca has the Clips reins today…congrats to the Minnesota Frost on repeating as Walter Cup Champs with their Game 4 overtime win! [Star Tribune, The Athletic ($), AP]
