25. Chris Therien
Spending all but 11 of his 764 NHL Games with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chris Therien had a very good career utilizing his imposing 6’ 5” 235 lb frame to push opposing attackers around and stifle offensive rushes. He was not a scorer but he was usually on the first line of defensive corps for Philly to provide a balance on the ice, which he did brilliantly.
Therien may never have been an All Star making him the highest ranked Flyer to not suit up in the mid-season spectacle but his long tenure (He is fifth all time in Games Played for the Flyers) and his overall consistency earned him this rank.
