Former Penguins still out on the UFA market
Daniel Sprong signed with Vancouver over the weekend for a one-year deal worth little over the minimum salary. It’s just the latest twist to continue his strange and winding career. Sprong has scored 39 goals and 89 points in the prior two seasons, for two different clubs (Seattle and Detroit). In both instances, he did so from a low time on ice role, but made the most of it. The Canucks will be the 27 year old’s sixth team. He’s yet to play 90+ games with any one team. For one reason or another that’s clearly not related to his play (general vibes? attitude? awareness? coachability?) Sprong hasn’t quite found his niche and place just yet.

District 1 News: New resolution authorizes city to contract with plumbers

Rob King will never forget the setting — pumping gas at an Amoco station in St. Louis. The same for the creative possibilities a friend’s suggestion spurred.

Hawley: Whistleblowers say Trump’s security detail was unprepared, inexperienced
(The Center Square) – Multiple whistleblowers have come forward telling U.S. Sen.

Dangerous is the word in a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates
An interesting thing has happened. The Pirates have become a dangerous team. Before the Cardinals series against the Braves happened, the talking heads on the radio were talking about how likely it was that the Cardinals would start the post-All Star break 2-4, and while there was some disagreement, it seemed to them more likely they would lose 2 of 3 to the Pirates than the Braves. This was before one of the starters was Bryce Elder and when Max Fried was supposed to be the Sunday starter.
