what you didn't see on flight plan - overhead projector

So the flight plan has been on the site for five days and thousands of flyer enthusiasts have listened.
To a large extent, the response on social media is positive, which is a good thing.
However, this does not mean that the content presented has not received some kind of criticism throughout the process.
Some of them are valid.
No one else. That’s O. K.
After all, this is how the world works.
That said, I thought I would use this time to address these discussion points that might be wrong or misleading and tell you something that you didn't see in your flight plan.
Let's talk about the address first.
Yes, the Pronger is part of the Scout meeting-in this episode he was not flown in to show his beard mug.
No, last season, Pronger was actually helping the Flyers scout some of the younger defenders.
He traveled some people to see many of the first round of Flyers considered.
He is one of the "secondary Scouts" talked about in the flight plan.
Pronger also contributed to the meeting, discussing the defensive players he saw, and the philosophical approach to drafting the defensive players.
So why didn't he chime in on MorinWell and he didn't see him playing with his own eyes!
Pronger said he went to see all the other first round defenders except Morin-the reason he didn't see Morin was because it never really fit his schedule.
So the reason why he seems to be silent in this episode is that we focus the video more on the Morin discussion, and the Pronger is not an important part of it.
He also has a pair of shoes.
His sneakers are against the wall.
Secondly, let's talk about the logistics of the room.
I mean how the whole process is built.
Some critics question why flyers use huge scratch pads and magic marks to assemble draft boards instead of spreadsheets, computers or projectors.
The first thing is the first thing.
All scouts and executives have a complex computer program that loads the entire draft board of the team and can be changed manually by anyone with edit privileges.
In this program, each player can click, and all relevant details about the player can be obtained, including the rating compiled by the Scouts.
Magic markers process and Cross names, and the idea of using only the player's belief that it is difficult to determine where he belongs is far from the base.
Again, these are the moments we choose to show in the episode-but there are more detailed scout reports for each player-including Maureen-and not just for his big, he played a few times.
This leads to the next question.
Some tweets want to know how flyers are so uncertain about orders two days before they are drafted.
It should be noted that this is the last meeting of many meetings between homglen, Pryor and Scout staff.
It will take a few weeks to fill out the list and arrange it in a reasonable order.
Once the order is confirmed, the Flyer will determine the players they wish to participate in each round based on where they think the players will fall.
Of course, this can eventually be changed at the table on the draft day, but it should be noted that four of the six draft picks they picked were identified in advance.
One small thing you should pay attention to in the flight plan is that there is a little red dot next to the Molin name on the boarding board.
This red dot indicates that it is the main target player the Flyer sees in a given turn.
Regardless of whether the flyer has changed the list or not, Maureen is always the target.
Other players have a point next to their name (
Although you can't see it because we have to blur it)were , and .
The second round of possibility as a Flyer was not locked.
The reason they let him play in the first round
I won't tell you the number, but he's in the second row on the first page of the draft board).
They felt they would get the others they marked on the second page, but when HMRC fell the flyer jumped up.
In fact, I can tell you that Holmgren called the chief European scout before picking to discuss the issue to ensure that they did not deviate from HMRC's projection before picking.
So, regardless of whether Maureen was named sixth, seventh or eighth, his identity was much earlier than the day we shot in the war room because he was the defender the flyer wanted.
The only way they didn't take him away was if there was an accident in the draft or Holmgren exchanged the picks.
None of them happened, and the Flyers found their people.
The last question I would like to discuss is the belief that philosophy and others are poorly drafted.
When I have time tonight, I will post a spreadsheet that I have spent three days making (
So look for the next blog post).
In this book, you will see that since they took over as general manager of flyer, they are one of the best people to discover NHL
Excellent players in the draft.
Excluding the 2013 draft, since Holmgren took over as general manager, only three teams had a higher success rate than the flyer team in getting the NHL draft, and the flyer team had only one --
Their third draft has reached the NHL since 2007.
The team with high success rate is only Minnesota (41. 7 percent)
Islanders in New York (39. 1 percent)and Ottawa (34. 2 percent).
They also rank higher than the league average in the total number of players playing NHL games drafted in 2007. 12.
Moreover, they completed the statistics and were tied to the least draft of the time.
But more later.
Now it's back in the second episode of editing the flight plan.
