Flyers newcomer Porter Martone met with the media Monday afternoon to talk all about making the big jump to the NHL and his upcoming potential debut and what it means to be joining a team in the middle of a very competitive playoff race.
While realizing he won’t be winning an NCAA championship with Michigan State in the coming weeks at the Frozen Four, he’s already moved onto the next chapter.
“Obviously it was tough getting beat out, you know we had expectations there at Michigan St...
After signing his entry-level contract Sunday afternoon, many believed Porter Martone would make his NHL debut sometime this coming week. But apparently, the Philadelphia Flyers top prospect was desperate to get into a game as soon as possible and even wanted to play just hours after putting pen to paper on Sunday night.
According to 32 Thoughts host Elliotte Friedman during Monday’s podcast, the 19-year-old winger who was fresh off being knocked out of the NCAA tournament less than 24 ho...
The Philadelphia Flyers are going to have an interesting summer as they possibly head into next season with slightly higher expectations. One of the biggest things on their to-do list is to lock up forward Trevor Zegras to a new contract.
The 25-year-old is going to be a restricted free agent this summer and should be in line to have a serious bump in pay from the $5.75-million AAV contract he’s currently on right now that he signed with the Anaheim Ducks three years ago. And ever since h...
*Okay before we get to the thing, last night the Flyers went to overtime (WOW SHOCKING) against the Dallas Stars and walked away with a win thanks to Trevor “Clutchtime” Zegras. RECAP !
*And then on Saturday night, the boys absolutely crushed it in Detroit. A positively Laughton-like performance. RECAP !

With news that Porter Martone is now with the Philadelphia Flyers, the forward joins a list of other NCAA hockey players who, once they finished their collegiate careers, decided to join the club late in the season. While Martone might be the biggest or highest drafted of the lot, it’s not like he’s the first. Here then is a list of NCAA players not named Porter Martone who after college hockey signed with the Flyers to play. Note the list is from the current day dating back to 2018, so forgiv...
After signing their 2025 first-round draft pick Sunday afternoon, Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere hinted that if everything lines up and the necessary documentation is complete then Porter Martone will make his National Hockey League debut Tuesday night against the Capitals.
Prior to the start of Sunday evening’s game against Dallas, Briere spoke with the media over the recent signing . And it sounds as if he’s just as giddy as the fans and followers of the team seeing Ma...
The Philadelphia Flyers are back in action just 24 hours after handing the Detroit Red Wings a big fat and powerful loss. Can they pull off something similar against a much better Dallas Stars team? The Flyers are the massive underdogs, but weirder things have happened this season.

Oh my goodness, he’s here. The Flyers have signed top prospect Porter Martone to his entry-level contract and ...
It’s happened. The Philadelphia Flyers have signed top prospect Porter Martone and he’s coming to make his NHL debut soon. But, who will he play with during that debut?
Martone is possibly the most NHL-ready prospect we’ve seen in a while, so he doesn’t need to be carefully placed in the league as a newborn baby is laid down on their crib. But, his debut shouldn’t be necessarily reckless and just throwing him into the lion’s den to see if he can manage to not get torn to shreds within the...
The new shiny toy is on the horizon. After losing Saturday, and concluding his college hockey career at Michigan State University, the Flyers 2025 first-round pick Porter Martone looks to be on the cusp of signing a contract with the club . And with that, most likely ending up in the lineup for Philadelphia down the stretch, possibly playing very meaningful games as the Flyers try to keep hunting down teams ahead of them. Philadelphia should be over the moon knowing Martone is coming. Speculat...
It didn’t take long for the Flyers to scoop up and sign their top prospect to his entry-level contract after exiting the NCAA tournament. A true game-changing young player is coming to Philadelphia.
According to multiple reports on Sunday morning, the Flyers will be signing winger Porter Martone to a three-year, entry-level contract. More specifically, will be getting it done by the afternoon. The day after the 19-year-old winger was knocked out of contention for a national championship w...

The Philadelphia Flyers might be getting their top prospect to join the team and provide a major boost within the next couple of days.
Porter Martone and his Michigan State Spartans faced the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday afternoon to decide who gets to go to the Frozen Four and compete for a national championship. The Spartans were the favorites heading into the game as the No. 3 seed overall and looked the part as they came back from a 1-0 deficit to make it a 3-1 lead in the middle of ...
On Saturday, Flyers prospects Porter Martone and Shane Vansaghi and the Michigan State Spartans faced the Wisconsin Badgers with a Frozen Four appearance on the line. The teams entered the game after different experiences in their opening contests, with Michigan State holding onto a one-goal game that saw UConn pepper Trey Augustine with over 40 shots on goal, while Wisconsin completely locked down Dartmouth. Quick goals were the theme of the game that eventually needed overtime to decide a wi...
The Flyers are back in action tonight for the first game of this weekend’s back-to-back. They’ve taken this show on the road, heading to Detroit to face off against the Red Wings and looking to build on the momentum from Thursday’s huge win over the Blackhawks, and for a chance to remain right in the thick of the playoff race. It’s make-or-break time again, folks!

After a bit of a delay — a 10 day layoff between the signing of contract and his return to the ice — Flyers prospect Cole Knuble made his professional debut with the Phantoms last night, getting the ball rolling in their 5-3 loss to Springfield on home ice.
For Knuble, it was a quick turnaround, arriving late Wednesday and only getting a bit of practice time in on Thursday after he finished all of his medical evaluations, but sprint from his arrival right into game action seemed to still ...
Flyers winger Tyson Foerster wasn’t expected to return to the lineup this season but after a somewhat new development at morning skate Saturday, that might be wrong.
All the way back on December 1, Foerster wound up and attempted a big one-timer slap shot against the Penguins and went down in excruciating pain. It was a bad scene that then got worse, as he was declared out for two to three months almost immediately, and then that timeline got extended to the entire season after undergoing...
After dropping Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets — a critical matchup in their push to remain in the mix for a playoff spot — in pretty deflated fashion, the Flyers found themselves well and truly on the ropes, as they looked to keep their playoff hopes alive. Thursday’s next matchup, then, against the visiting Blackhawks was going to be critical to helping them get things back on track, if they could again tap into a short memory and turn the page quickly.
And what the team deliver...
Philadelphia Flyers general manager Danny Briere, like a lot of his fellow brethren, hasn’t really dealt with a lot of hard decisions when it comes to the team’s salary cap and committing to certain players, but that is all going to change this summer.
The stagnant cap over the last few seasons resulted in each team having the same ceiling and floor thanks to the global pandemic and the revenue lost as a result. After all, there were not many bums in seats for a few years. What this meant...
On the day of the trade deadline, so many people expected the Philadelphia Flyers to be at least a little busy. And they might have been behind the scenes, but the deals that were actually completed were fairly ordinary — sending Bobby Brink back home to Minnesota and getting a more long-term project in defenseman David Jiricek, was certainly the highest-profile move the Flyers made.
But one little transaction that at the time was seen as unnecessary, has been maybe the best addition the ...
As the NHL enters a new economic period and its franchises sort out the best practices, the ground feels unsteady underfoot. Across the board, a league that has largely operated in a flat or minimally growing labor market now has franchises flush with cap space. For the first time in the salary cap era, teams have significantly more leeway to maneuver.
So far, this has manifested in extensions. While players like Jack Eichel and Connor McDavid were longshots to reach unrestricted free age...
