Flyers’ Breakout Young Players Return to Development Camp to Tutor Prospects

The returning rookie regulars serve as on-ice mentors as the Flyers manage offseason training, injuries and qualifying offers to hold their core together.

Overview

  • Porter Martone, Denver Barkey and Alex Bump were on the ice at development camp to train and mentor younger players, with Martone pacing his workload after playing for Team Canada.
  • The trio’s presence reinforces the club’s internal development pathway and sends a clear message that roster spots must be earned through continued progress and work ethic.
  • Jett Luchanko was absent from on-ice work with a lower-body issue that the team expects will allow him to resume skating next week and be ready for training camp.
  • The Flyers submitted qualifying offers to Trevor Zegras, Nikita Grebenkin, Jamie Drysdale and Hunter McDonald, moves the organization says are nearly certain to keep those restricted free agents under team control.
  • Development camp also saw travel delays for several recent draft picks and a focus on specific offseason goals, including Barkey’s plan to add weight and improve his first three steps to win more puck battles.
