Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team.  That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity.  As such, we are very happy to present our post 2021/22 revision of our top Philadelphia Flyers.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Flyers did not make the playoffs, and went into rebuilding mode.  There was only one change to the top 50, with one new addition.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Bobby Clarke

2. Bernie Parent

3. Bill Barber

4. Eric Lindros

5. Mark Howe

You can find the entire list here.

The lone new entry is Center, Travis Konechy, who makes his first appearance at #50.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Travis Konecny was a late First Rounder (24^th Overall) by Philadelphia in 2015, and as of this writing, he is entering his tenth season with the Flyers.

Relatively small in stature (5'10”), Konecny is a surprisingly physical player, unafraid to give or take hits from other opponents, while still lighting the lamp.  An All-Star in 2020, Konecny had three straight seasons (2017-18 to 2019-20) where he scored 24 Goals.  He did not break 20 Goals over the next two seasons, but in 2022-23, he set a new personal best with 31 Goals, and broke that the year after with 33 Goals and 68 Points.  Konecny also led the NHL in Short-Handed Goals with 6.

Last season, he failed to reach 30 Goals, but had a new personal record in Points with 76.  Entering his prime period going into 2025-26, we could see a sizable jump in this rank when it is redone.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Stars barely made the playoffs and were eliminated in the First Round.  There was only one new entrant to the top 50, and while there are three other active Stars on the list, only one saw their rank improve.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Mike Modano

2. Sergei Zubov

3. Jamie Benn

4. Marty Turco

5. Derian Hatcher

You can find the entire list here.

Benn, who was an active Star, was not able to overtake Zubov, who is a Hall of Famer for #2.  Notably, Tyler Seguin, who is also an Active Dallas Star, remained at #7.

Swedish Defenseman, John Klingberg, moved up two spots to #18.  This will be his apex, as he is now with Anaheim.

The lone new entry is Defenseman, Miro Heiskanen, who makes his first appearance at #49.

Regular visitors of Notinhalloffame.com know that we are slowly working on the top 50 of every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL and MLB.  Once that is done, we intend to look at how each team honor their past players, coaches and executives.  As such, it is important to us that the St. Louis Blues have announced the formation of their franchise Hall of Fame.

It is a long time coming, as the team has been in existence since 1967, and they won their first Stanley Cup in 2019.

Immediately, the team has selected ten members of the Hall, comprising of eight players (all of whom who had their numbers retired by the team) and two other contributors.

Automatically inducted will be:

Bernie Federko

Bob Gassoff

Brett Hull

Dan Kelly

Al MacInnis

Barclay Plager

Bob Plager

Chris Pronger

Sid Solomon

Brian Sutter

In addition, the Blues are holding a fan vote which will help sway consideration for the other members of the first Blues Hall of Fame Class

Those who are on the fan ballot are:

Al Arbour

David Backes

Wayne Babych

Red Berenson

Scotty Bowman

Pavol Demitra

Glenn Hall

Barret Jackman

Curtis Joseph

Mike Liut

Adam Oates

Alexander Steen

Garry Unger

Keith Tkachuk

Pierre Turgeon

The inaugural class will be announced on October 15 during their home opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to congratulate the first names announced to the Blues Hall of Fame, and the organization in general for taking this step.
