Latest Philadelphia Flyers Depth Chart Following Trevor Zegras Trade
Trevor Zegras immediately steps into a featured role in the Flyers' top-six. (Photo: Orlando Ramirez, Imagn Images) After Monday's Trevor Zegras trade, the Philadelphia Flyers are going to be looking a lot different at the forward position in the 2025-26 season. Center Ryan Poehling, effectively the centerpiece of the blockbuster deal from the Flyers' side of things, will need to be replaced. Zegras, who may or may not be a true center at the NHL level, will slot in nicely at the top of the lineup at left wing or down the middle. Advertisement But, the 24-year-old former No. 11 pick won't be replacing Poehling's defensive and penalty killing impacts and has a career-high single-season faceoff percentage of only 41.4%. The latter is not the worst you'll find - Jack Hughes has a career success rate of 38% - but it won't be conducive to success in a defensive role of any real importance. Instead, that will be left to longer-tenured Flyers, such as Sean Couturier and Noah Cates. And even with Cates, his faceoff percentage last season was 44.6%. In short, the Flyers have created more offensive opportunity with the addition of Zegras at the cost of penalty killing and, in some cases, puck possession via faceoffs. Let's take a peek at what this will look like on paper ahead of the 2025 NHL Draft and the start of free agency: Travis Konecny - Sean Couturier - Matvei Michkov Advertisement Jakob Pelletier - Trevor Zegras - Owen Tippett Tyson Foerster - Noah Cates - Bobby Brink Nick Deslauriers - Rodrigo Abols - Garnet Hathaway In this forward group, we make a few assumptions. The most notable is that new Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet keeps Couturier, Travis Konecny, and Matvei Michkov together. Flyers Trade for Trevor Zegras: Trade Grade, Immediate Outlook Flyers Trade for Trevor Zegras: Trade Grade, Immediate Outlook The first big deal of the 2025 NHL offseason saw the Philadelphia Flyers trade center Ryan Poehling, the 45th pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, and a fourth-round pick to the Anaheim Ducks for forward Trevor Zegras. Defense was a major pain point with them, as they surrendered 3.15 expected goals against per 60 minutes, per Moneypuck, but they also created 4.59 expected goals per 60 minutes, which trailed only lines of Zach Hyman, Connor McDavid, and Leon Draisaitl; Brandon Hagel, Anthony Cirelli, and Nikita Kucherov, and Jordan Martinook, Jordan Staal, and William Carrier. Advertisement On the other hand, those 3.15 expected goals against ranked fifth-worst in the league amongst lines with at least 230 minutes together. The next assumption, of course, is that Jakob Pelletier re-signs with the Flyers and plays a somewhat featured role in the middle-six. In Vancouver, Tocchet was fond of a similar undersized spark plug forward with some offensive skill in Nils Hoglander. Paired with Owen Tippett for 105 minutes of 5-on-5 action, Pelletier and Tippett out-scored opponents 5-3 while owning 52% of the shot attempts and a staggering 64.66% of the expected goals, per Natural Stat Trick. Advertisement Scoring chances were 45-25 for the Flyers with them on the ice, and high-danger scoring chances were 20-12. All five of the Flyers goals scored with Tippett and Pelletier on the ice were high-danger goals. This was a small end-of-season sample size, to be clear, but Pelletier and Tippett are two unrelenting forecheckers with decent speed and offensive skill. When you replace Poehling on that line with Zegras, as the Flyers have effectively done, the forward lineup has so much more flexibility and potential. The elite performance of the checking line that is Cates, Tyson Foerster, and Bobby Brink is duly noted, and they should remain together for the foreseeable future. The fourth line of Nick Deslauriers, Rodrigo Abols, and Garnet Hathaway could use a lot of work, but this is what the Flyers are working with at the time of the Zegras trade. Prospect Karsen Dorwart could make a case for a roster spot, but it's likely to assume the Flyers turn to a veteran in Abols to start.

Flyers Draft Porter Martone: Pick Grade, Instant Reaction
The Flyers passed on a center, taking Porter Martone sixth overall. (Photo: Kirby Lee, Imagn Images) The Philadelphia Flyers hit a home run Friday night, picking winger Porter Martone sixth overall atop the 2025 NHL Draft. Martone, 18, featured alongside future Flyers teammates Travis Sanheim, Tyson Foerster, and Travis Konecny whilst playing for Canada during the 2025 World Championships last month. Advertisement But, playing with and against NHL caliber players wasn't Martone's only feat of excellence on the international stage recently. The Flyers' newest top prospect stood out to Danny Briere and the Philly brass at the 2024 U18 Men's World Championships last year, scoring five goals, 12 assists, and 17 points in seven games, captaining his nation to a gold medal and finishing third in the tournament in scoring behind only James Hagens and teammate Gavin McKenna. The 18-year-old scored 37 goals, 61 assists, and 98 points in 57 games with the Brampton Steelheads this season, also captaining the OHL outfit. Martone is a sniper, a natural leader, and a developing, skilled playmaker with room to grow, literally and figuratively. NHL Draft 2025: Can (or should) the Flyers draft Porter Martone? NHL Draft 2025: Can (or should) the Flyers draft Porter Martone? With a guaranteed top six pick in the 2025 NHL Draft, the Philadelphia Flyers have an array of potentially franchise-altering options at their disposal. But is Porter Martone, a winger in the purest sense, one of them? Advertisement At 6-foot-3, Martone brings the size the Flyers lack, especially at the winger position. Konecny, Matvei Michkov, and Bobby Brink are all shorter than 6-foot, though it's reasonable to assume someone will eventually have to move to make space for Martone in the NHL lineup. Grade: A Martone is a big, sometimes physical player who plays a lot like Michkov and Matthew Tkachuk in terms of his playmaking and the way he sees the game. The dreaded Flyers power play is a major factor as to why they had such a high pick to begin with, and Martone, even at his current age, would provide a massive boost there alongside fellow newcomer Trevor Zegras. Advertisement He'll shoot, pass, take one-timers, and get to the front of the net all the same, and the Flyers have too many players who do only one of those things. Martone will have to get bigger, stronger, and meaner to live up to the Tkachuk comparisons, but the skill level is already so high. The logistics complicate things, but Martone turns 19 on Oct. 26, shortly after opening night. Conceivably, he could be an NHL player with the talent, maturity, and size he has. But should you do it because you can? The Flyers will answer that in due time, but with the sixth pick in the NHL Draft, they landed the best winger, and one of the best offensive talents, by far.

Kansas City Chiefs OL Trey Smith reflects on health issues before the 2021 NFL Draft
During the latest episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce and his brother Jason welcomed Kansas City Chiefs offensive guard Trey Smith. The Pro Bowl offensive lineman opened up about his battle with blood clots at Tennessee. "One week in conditioning, we were doing half-gassers, and I passed out. I had never passed out. I couldn't breathe well," said Smith, "I lost 13 pounds in a day. I remember talking to our team doctor, 'Hey, you guys gotta run more tests on me; I feel terrible. And he's like, 'We're gonna do a blood draw, just go ahead and go to class." Advertisement After starting at left tackle during his sophomore season, Tennessee's medical staff discovered blood clots in Smith's lungs and ruled him out indefinitely. The issue was identified in February 2018, before the start of spring practice. "They rush me to the hospital and figure out that I have blood clots in both sides of my lungs," said Smith, "So that was sort of one of those moments where it's like, man, can I still play football? Like, what does this mean? And pretty much, I was working with the doctors for five months. (I had to go on) blood thinners." Smith started all ten games in his last collegiate season, earning first-team All-SEC honors for the Volunteers. "So it was a crazy experience. But in my junior year, I was able to play the entire season. Decided to stay at Tennessee, "said Smith, "I made a promise to my deceased mom, Dorsetta Smith, that I would get my degree and play in the NFL one day. So I kept my promise." Advertisement Smith was drafted in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and has emerged as one of the best offensive linemen in the league.
