The Flyers lost a little bit of organizational depth Thursday afternoon when one of the two players they put on waivers yesterday failed to clear.
Chris Porter, who scored two goals in three preseason games, was claimed off of waivers by the Minnesota Wild. Colin McDonald, who the Flyers also waived yesterday, cleared.
Porter, 31, was signed this offseason by the Flyers to a two-way deal. The former University of North Dakota forward came into camp and impressed the Flyers' brass and nearly earned a job.
The Flyers were hopeful Porter would add to their organizational depth at the forward spot.
