42. Ross Lonsberry
We have another member of the two Stanley Cup Championship teams from the 1970’s in Ross Lonsberry who was a perfect fit for the tough and rumble team that the Philadelphia Flyers were becoming.  Lonsberry was a good two way player and he would have three 50 Point seasons for Philadelphia with 314 overall.
