Two Philadelphia Flyers prospects were among the players listed on Scott Wheeler's top 100 NHL drafted prospect rankings for The Athletic. This is because Porter Martone and David Jiricek both made the cut. 

Martone was given the No. 3 spot on Wheeler's rankings. Seeing Martone be ranked so high is entirely understandable, as he has all the tools to become a star power forward in the NHL. 

After posting 25 goals and 50 points in 35 games with Michigan State University as a freshman last season, Martone signed his entry-level contract with the Flyers. He made an immediate impact with the Flyers after this, posting four goals and 10 points in nine regular-season games.

Marte also had two goals and five points in 10 playoff games for Philadelphia. With numbers like these, he has already shown a lot of promise in the NHL and should only get better. 

Jiricek, on the other hand, just made the cut at the No. 97 spot. The 2022 sixth-overall pick is still looking to break out and become a full-time NHL defenseman. It would not be surprising if he takes that next step with the Flyers next season.

Jiricek was excellent for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms last season after being acquired by the Flyers from the Minnesota Wild. In 15 games with the AHL club following the move, he posted two goals and 13 points. It will be interesting to see if he can translate some of this play over to the Flyers next season.
