Martone is the first Flyers player from their 2025 draft class to ink his entry-level deal. He joins Noah Powell, Cole Knuble, Alex Ciernik, and Riley Thompson as other Philadelphia prospects to sign his first contract.<\/p>\n

The forward represented his native Canada at the last two World Junior Championships. Martone was captain for a Team Canada squad that claimed the bronze medal.<\/p>\n

What it Means<\/p>\n

Martone joins a Flyers team that has plenty of young prospects. Philadelphia general manager Daniel Briere<\/a> has stockpiled plenty of assets and prospects. He\u2019s hoping these players will start to bear fruit at the NHL level.<\/p>\n

Flyers fans should be encouraged in seeing the Ottawa Senators<\/a> last year and the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> this year using their prospects to move up the standings. Philadelphia is hoping to finally get back to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.<\/p>\n
