Philly Secures Top Prospect Porter Martone
30 Mar
Summary
- Porter Martone, Flyers' top prospect, signs three-year deal.
- He led Michigan State with 25 goals and 49 points.
- His abrasive style could excite Flyers fans.
Porter Martone, widely considered the Philadelphia Flyers' top prospect and the No. 6 selection in the 2025 NHL Draft, has officially signed a three-year entry-level contract with the club.
This signing comes after Martone completed an impressive freshman season at Michigan State University. He led his team in both goals, with 25, and total points, accumulating 49 in 34 games. His collegiate performance has generated significant excitement within the Flyers organization.
Flyers president of hockey operations Keith Jones previously expressed enthusiasm for Martone's development, noting his "dirt under his fingernails" and a playing style conducive to the team's needs. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound forward also demonstrated his offensive capabilities by scoring eight power-play goals for Michigan State.
Martone's decision to sign with the Flyers resolves any lingering concerns, drawing a contrast to the departure of former prospect Cutter Gauthier. His commitment provides the Flyers with a promising young talent who could potentially bolster their league-worst power play.
