The Philadelphia Flyers were open to lots of things ahead of the NHL Draft, but, ultimately, a bold New York Islanders trade offer wasn't enough to pull them away from selecting Porter Martone with the sixth overall pick.

Rather than throwing a hit to separate an opposing player from the puck, he will choose to throw a hit to start something with his opponent. While the latter can be of value at times (specifically if you do it legally), he needs to prioritize the former, especially given what he can do with the puck when he has it.

Experts say they like the Flyers’ No. 6 pick as Martone was the best player available, but some question marks were raised after they traded up from No. 22 and No. 31 to take Nesbitt at No. 12.
