Porter Martone and Denver Barkey (along with Alex Bump) are attending the Flyers’ 2026 Developmental Camp as more experienced prospects/NHL players, and both have explicitly talked about stepping up as leaders for the younger players
Key Quotes from Developmental Camp
- Porter Martone: He mentioned wanting to “be a leader,” show the younger prospects what it means to play for the Flyers, and noted how valuable it is to be back in Philly despite already playing NHL games. He and Barkey (plus Bump) decided together to attend after Danny Briere asked them.
- Denver Barkey: He echoed the sentiment, saying he’s there to “Be a leader. Learning what it means to be a Flyer now. Help out here, be a leader, help them to see what it means to be a Flyer.”
This fits the Flyers’ approach of having veterans/prospects like these three mentor the next wave during camp. Martone in particular has drawn attention for his leadership potential and comments about wearing a letter in the future.
It’s a positive sign for the organization’s culture and development as they continue their rebuild. Anything specific you want more details on (roster, scrimmages, other prospects, etc.)?
