O'Brien never signed a deal with the Flyers and had his rights expire which allowed the Marlies to swoop in and snag him. The Flyers will receive a compensatory 2nd round pick from the NHL for not signing O'Brien.

He scored 8 goals and had 32 points in 39 NCAA games last year with Boston University. He will look to develop his game with Toronto's top-tier facilities and staff.
