28. Wayne Simmonds
Wayne Simmonds became a Philadelphia Flyer after playing his first three years in Los Angeles.  

Proving to be more than a solid player,, Simmonds has had two 60 Point seasons for Philadelphia and he had back-to-back 30 Goal seasons in 2015-16 & 2016-17.  In that latter campaign, he would be named an NHL All-Star.  Despite his skill, the struggling Flyers traded Simmonds to Nashville during the 2018/19 Season, and he won the Mark Messier Leadership Award that year.  

With the Flyers, Simmonds had 378 Points.
