According to a report from Jeff McLane, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham is set to hold out from organized team activities later this month until his contract is renegotiated.

The first of the final four teams playing for the Stanley Cup is now known. The Nashville Predators are comfortably waiting for their opponent in the Western Conference Finals. In the meantime, two Game 6s in the Eastern Conference and the first Game 7 in the other West series are on the schedule for the rest of the six teams still alive in the playoffs.

The World Championships are a stage where teammates during the NHL season can become foes during the tournament. That was evident early in a meeting between Canada and Czech Republic on the first day of the tournament on Friday.

The Penguins and Predators are one win away from advancing to the Conference Finals while four other teams are deadlocked in even series through four games.

On Saturday night, the Flyers luck changed. The lottery handed them a Top 3 pick at second overall. And suddenly, the Flyers were gifted a top prospect that could be a game-changer in the long run and NHL ready next season.

There was a common theme to these picks: upside and potential. While their impact may not be felt in the immediate future, the Eagles felt that they at least set the stage for the future.

The Eagles have added four players as undrafted free agents: running back Corey Clement, quarterback/wide receiver Greg Ward Jr., center Tyler Orlosky and punter Cam Johnston.

As Howie Roseman and Joe Douglas met the media following the selection of Derek Barnett with the 14th overall pick, it was clear, this was the target for the Eagles all along.
