gold star for USAHOF

27. Kimmo Timonen

27. Kimmo Timonen

Kimmo Timonen began his career with the Nashville Predators where he was a two-time All-Star.  In 2007, Timonen and Scott Hartnell were traded to Philadelphia for a First Round Pick, who would never make it to NHL.  It is easy to see who won this trade.

Timonen went to his third All-Star Game in his first year as a Flyer, and did so again in 2012.  Timonen had three 40-Point seasons with Philly, with another three cracking the 30-Point threshold.  While he never finished in the top ten in Norris voting as a Flyer, he did receive votes in three of his years, and he was considered one of the top Defensemen for the Flyers during his tenure, which ended in 2014.

Timonen scored 270 Points of his 571 career Points in Philadelphia.
