Overview

• With the sixth overall pick, the Flyers added 6-foot-3 winger Porter Martone to bolster scoring ability and physical presence on their top line.
• They traded their No. 22 and No. 31 selections to move into the No. 12 spot for 6-foot-5 center Jack Nesbitt, aiming to strengthen the team’s middle depth.
• Across rounds 2–7, Philadelphia targeted seven additional prospects over six feet tall, emphasizing physicality and high compete traits in line with Rick Tocchet’s standards.
• Analysts praised Martone’s blend of size, shooting and playmaking—comparing him to Corey Perry—while noting that Nesbitt will need to improve his skating to reach a higher NHL ceiling.
• The organization now turns to integrating and developing its enlarged prospect pool under GM Danny Brière and coach Rick Tocchet to support the rebuild.
