A shattered ankle early in the 1981/82 season would eventually lead to his early retirement at the age of 28 and had he been able to compete longer he definitely would be ranked much higher.
Still, this a player who had a very good (especially for a Defenseman) Points per Game Average of .64 with 296 Points overall.
36. Bob Dailey
Traded midway through the 1976/77 season from the Vancouver Canucks, Bob Dailey may have missed the Stanley Cup days but he was still a contributor on some very good Flyers teams. The one time tallest player in hockey (6’ 5”) would have two straight 30 Assist seasons, the first of which saw the blueliner put the puck in the net for a career high 21, which along with his 57 Points would set (since broken) records for a Flyers Defenseman. Dailey would be named an All Star that year and later in 1981.
