Martone’s Surprising Edge: Could He Be the Flyers’ Dark Horse for October?
VOORHEES, N.J. — Wayne Simmonds watched Porter Martone around four to five times last season scouting the OHL for the Flyers.
He came away impressed.
Did he think the 6-foot-3, 98-point forward would drop to No. 6 in the 2025 NHL draft?
“I didn’t, personally,” Simmonds said with a laugh. “For us, we got lucky. We’ll take that one, we’ll definitely take that one.”
No doubt, the Flyers were happy to see Martone wearing a white and black practice jersey, with an orange No. 94, as development camp kicked off Wednesday. Just five days ago, they were scooping him up at sixth overall.
