22 year-old Switzerland native Christian Marti stands 6'3" 210 lbs. and is now a member of the Philadelphia Flyers after being signed to an entry level contract yesterday.
Marti has spent the last 2 seasons playing for Geneve-Servette HC of the Swiss National League. In 82 games he's posted 20 points off 5 goals and 15 assists.
Per Eliteprospects.com Marti "Has untapped offensive abilities and owns a booming shot from the point, which makes him a reliable option for a power play unit."
Sounds like a prospect with a good bit of promise that needs some development. Very little is known about Marti though (don't pretend you're an avid Swiss hockey fan), so we'll see how he does when camp opens up. I'd expect to see him open the season on the Lehigh Valley Phantoms roster.
