1) On today's edition of Flyers Daily on the Flyers' Broadcast Network, host Jason Myrtetus and Chris Therien discuss where things stand with the preparations for Phases 3 and 4 of the NHL's return-to-play plan. They also talk about this year's Hockey Hall of Fame inductee selections. In case you missed it, the current installment of Therien's Take on the Flyers' official website tackles the subject of the opaque process by which some candidates are chosen for the Hockey Hall of Fame with the selection committee overlooks other worthy candidates. Bundy also discussed the Hall of Fame cases that could be made for several of his former Flyers teammates: Rod Brind'Amour, Jeremy Roenick and John LeClair.

2) Defense prospect Wyatt Kalynuk, the Flyers' seventh-round (196th overall) pick of the 2017 NHL Draft, has opted to test NHL free agency after the 23-year-old decided to forgo his senior year at Wisconsin. In the meantime, contracted Flyers prospects Wyatte Wylie and Egor Zamula are getting ready for their respective first pro seasons come the 2020-21 season.
