Last year, when the Flyers drafted Porter Martone, I, like most Flyers fans, was excited. Here is the hard-nosed sniper we've been missing for a while: a possible reincarnation of a bulldog like Mark Recchi on the right wing. Then the second thought that occurred to me was that the right wing was the team's biggest strength. Someone had to go. A logjam had been created at the right wing position.
There was a dearth of talent at that spot: Matvei Michkov, Travis Konecny, Tyson Foerster, Owen Tippett, Garnet Hathaway, and Bobby Brink. In this case, it was Brink.
