The Flyers made some very minor news this Friday afternoon when they announced the signing of 22-year old Swiss defenseman Christian Marti.
Marti spent the past two seasons in Switzerland's National League A, and has one year of hockey in North America when he played for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL in 2012-13.
His fairly low scoring numbers suggest that he's more of a stay-at-home, shutdown-type of defenseman. Also via eliteprospects, here's a brief scouting report on Marti:
Possesses a rare combination of size and mobility. Christian Marti, with his skill and long reach, has perfect shutdown abilities.
