On June 27th, 2025, the Philadelphia Flyers found themselves salivating in their seats as they saw 6'23", 210 lb. Porter Martone still available on the draft board for their 6th pick. Although the most glaring need for the Flyers heading into the 2025 draft was to bolster the center position, a power forward at the wing position is never something to scoff at.
In fact, most NHL analysts feel it behooves teams to draft the most skilled available player, regardless of position. So, Danny Briere and Keith Jones wasted no time in making their decision on who would be donning the orange and black in the coming years.
