Even in the depressingly hockey-free summer, we expect to be a productive bunch here at Pro Hockey Talk. Sometimes it might be difficult to follow our pace. We understand that. For that reason, whenever we can, we’ll put all of the day’s stories in one convenient post called the PHT Nightcap. Enjoy, hockey fans.

Could the Wings turn to Lukas Krajicek for help? - If you’re relying on Krajicek, you definitely need help.
Did Maxim Afinogenov deserve another shot with an NHL team? - Perhaps he just wanted too much money? For a guy who is as one-dimensional as he is, you can’t blame NHL teams for passing on the speedy Russian.

Sidney Crosby and Roger Federer meet for the first time - Perhaps if you combined their statements into one big one, you might be able to find an interesting comment in there somewhere.

Players who stood out during the evaluation camps.
And the final part of the WJC trilogy: Why Team USA may or may not win the gold again - Jack Campbell should feel emboldened ... but maybe a little bit of pressure too.
