It’s easy to understand why a player like Danick Martel was overlooked in his draft class, as he’s a left winger under 5’9” who only put up 41 points in 68 games for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada in the QMJHL back in the 2012-13 season. After being passed over again during the 2013-14 campaign (despite jumping from 19 goals to 32 goals and 41 points to 60 points), it wasn’t until he was in the midst of a 48-goal, 102-point season in 2014-15 that Philadelphia Flyers’ general manager Ron Hextall offered him an entry-level deal that led to a amateur try-out with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
