Overview
- Michigan State lost 4-3 in overtime to Wisconsin on Saturday in the Worcester regional final, ending Porter Martone’s freshman year at 25 goals and 50 points in 35 games.
- Elliotte Friedman said late Saturday the deal with Philadelphia could be completed within 24 to 48 hours and described the process as likely to move very quickly.
- Broad Street Hockey reported Sunday morning that the Flyers will sign Martone to a three-year entry-level contract, citing multiple reports and a tweet from Jackie Spiegel that targeted completion by the afternoon.
- Signing now would burn the first year of his standard three-year entry-level deal, which affects when his next contract and restricted-free-agent timeline would begin.
- Most outlets expect an NHL debut in the coming days, with projections centered on Tuesday at Washington or a home debut Thursday against Detroit, though an AHL assignment or an amateur tryout path remains possible.
