SB NATION's Travis Hughes noted the Flyers last night debuted their new web video series "Flight Plan," and the eight-minute episode "focused on the scouting staff as they prepared for this year's NHL Draft."

The episode was "a bit short, but after parsing everything that was said, we still learned a lot about the team's decision-making process." It is "easy to read into what we saw either positively or negatively, but remember ... this is only eight minutes long and it's basically only one little conversation." There is "still a lot we didn't get to see, but hey, it's better than nothing" (SBNATION.com, 8/6).
