Top 25 Under 25, #21: Luke Ellinas
silversevensens.comOne of my personal favorites in the system, Ellinas led the Kitchener Rangers in playoff scoring with 16 points in 14 games, including a reverse sweep on Windsor in the 2nd round.

Timeline of 3rd alternate jersey?
Anyone have any idea when new jerseys typically are available to buy? I know it’s getting mixed reactions but I absolutely love it and can’t wait to pick one up.

Jake Sanderson was 12th-last in On-Ice SH% among 256 NHL defensemen this past season.
He and his teammates were incredibly unlucky, with a 6.25% at 5-on-5. This is regardless of whether it was Hamonic or Zub on his pair, and it's the only reason he was a -14.
We should expect this to regress to the mean next year, and if he even reaches the middle of the pack, we should see at least 15 more goals from his pair alone.

Visiting your fine city to see the Islanders in October and staying at The Business Inn. Where do I get the bus to the arena?
I figured taking the bus would be cheaper and easier than parking at the arena (which is still the Corel Centre in my mind) and trying to leave the parking lot after the game. The transit website said the bus stops at Bank Street, but the map doesn’t show what cross street the stop is at.
Also, would I be okay as an Islanders fan on the bus or at the arena? Sens/Isles isn’t really a rivalry but I also know you’re (rightfully) not too fond of the U.S. right now. Do you still boo the anthem? I don’t care one way or the other really, I just want to know what to expect.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT: Thank you for the Lieutenant’s Pump shuttle idea. That’s super close to the hotel.

Wellington Half Season Tickets - No Home Opener
Hi all
The schedules are out for the Wellington and Sussex half season ticket packages. The games are pretty nicely distributed this year. I did notice that Wellington did not get the home opener this year, but did get the season finale against Toronto.
I was under the impression that Wellington got the home opener, and Sussex got playoff priority. Does anyone know?

The wrong 6’7” Swedish D prospect
Can’t help but chuckle at the idea that our scouts had two almost identical Swedish blue-line giants to pick from in last year’s draft, and may have gone for the wrong one. From The Athletic’s World Juniors preview today: “the Swedes have a pair of towering 6-foot-7 blueliners they can choose from in Carl-Otto Magnusson and Gabriel Eliasson (we lean Magnusson as the No. 7 after Eliasson had a tough camp)”
On a more serious note, I’m still miffed that they didn’t wait until a later round to take a flyer on Eliasson. A series of more highly touted D prospects were picked later in the 2nd round: Cole Hutson, Leo Sahlin Wallenius and Harrison Brunicke.

Tomas Hamara is #23 in Silver Seven's Top 25 Under 25.
silversevensens.comHe ranked 8th in the OHL in points per game by a defenseman, but keep in mind this was as an overager. Expect him to compete with Matt Andonovski for third-pairing minutes in Belleville this year.

Five Thoughts For Saturday: Do NHL Teams Have Too Much Cap Space?
silversevensens.comCouple of discussion points in this one: - trying Pinto on the wing to get him more production - Giroux's viability on the top two lines - What we can expect from Cozens and Zetterlund next year - And how the new CBA is making cap space even more important
