Let’s try something new today. There’s not a ton out there that isn’t behind a paywall, so I wanted a discussion-starter instead. As always, if you’ve got Wings-related articles you want to share and discuss, please do so.

My guess is that the signing will take place on August 27th at 3am. My bonus guess is that the Elias Pettersson offer sheet follows on Sunday the 29th.

There’s a lot more to the article than the statement.
