For Flyers Prospect Porter Martone, It's All About Execution
The Philadelphia Flyers' prospects are starting to make their mark in the college and junior ranks. One player who is turning heads is freshman center Porter Martone at Michigan State University. The sixth overall pick from June has already notched four points over two games against Northern Michigan, including a goal and assist in each contest.
Martone's shot is looking particularly sharp, and his overall production suggests he may be more than just a talented prospect – he could be the real deal. At 19 years old, Martone still has plenty of time to develop and refine his skills, but with the Flyers' organization behind him, there's no shortage of confidence in his ability to take off.
A Look at Other Notable Players
Shane Vansaghi, a sophomore winger for Michigan State, is another player who is making waves. The big, physical second-round pick has been impressive despite not having as prolific of a start numbers-wise. In a recent game against Boston University, he made an incredible goal-line save in overtime that ultimately flipped into the game-winning goal.
The Flyers' scouting department sees great potential in Vansaghi's power and believes that it will serve him well at the NHL level. With his size and physicality, Vansaghi has the ability to be a dominant force on the ice – and the organization is hoping he can bring that to the lineup soon.
Other players to keep an eye on include Jack Murtagh of Boston University, who is having a solid start as a freshman with two goals and two assists through seven games. Carter Amico, a defenseman for the Terriers, has been quiet stat-wise but is getting back on track after missing most of last season with a broken kneecap.
In the junior ranks, Jack Nesbitt is putting up impressive numbers for the Windsor Spitfires, while Matthew Gard is having a hot start for the Rebels. On the flip side, defenseman Spencer Gill suffered an injury that will keep him out for several months.
A Look Overseas
The Flyers also have prospects in overseas leagues, including goalies like Yegor Zavragin in the KHL and Jack Berglund in the SHL. While it's hard to judge these players without seeing them compete live, there is certainly hope that they can make an impact for the organization down the line.
As the season wears on, fans will be eager to see how these prospects continue to develop and contribute to the Flyers' success. With a number of high-profile players still to arrive in the NHL, it's clear that the future is bright for this talented group of young players.

. His sharp shot and production are already making waves, but I think what's most intriguing is how he'll continue to refine his skills with the Flyers' organization backing him up 
. The fact that Shane Vansaghi's size and physicality could be a dominant force on the ice is definitely promising 
. It'll be interesting to see how Jack Nesbitt and Matthew Gard balance their impressive numbers in the junior ranks against more challenging competitions abroad 
.
but we'll see how long their hype lasts before they're benched or trade away 
Martone and Vansaghi are gonna be superstars in 2 seasons max 
it's just a matter of time before the NHL grinders grind them down. Shane's goal-line save was more luck than skill 
and Murtagh is still just a freshman, how much growth can he expect? Amico's injury came at a bad time and now his progress will be measured against that 1-season hiatus 
what about all these overseas prospects, gonna make it in the big leagues or get creamed by the Europeans 
we'll believe it when we see it 
. And let's not forget about Nesbitt, he's putting up crazy numbers in the junior ranks 
gotta keep an eye on shane vansaghi too, his size & physicality are a big plus for the flyers 
. Porter Martone's already making waves with 4 points over two games and his shot is looking 
.
Let's hope these prospects can live up to the hype and bring some excitement to the Wells Fargo Center this season 
.
maybe we'll c them in philly soon
