The Philadelphia Flyers came into the 2025 NHL Draft with a few different needs. First and foremost, everyone knew that Danny Briere and the rest of the front office would have their eyes set on taking a center at some point in the first round. While they passed on James Hagens at sixth overall, they did get center Jack Nesbitt at 12th overall, even if it may have been a bit of a reach.
One thing Nesbitt has in common with sixth overall pick Porter Martone is that they both have pretty big frames to help the Flyers up front.
