The First Nations star from Manitoba played for the California Golden Seals for a few seasons before he arrived in Philadelphia, but arguably nobody foresaw what he would accomplish in the City of Brotherly Love.

Tim Kerr went undrafted, yet his tenacious play and the way he overcame injury after injury would earn him a permanent spot in the Philadelphia Flyers lineup.  Maybe spot isn’t the right word, as "slot" might be more accurate, as that is where he would find himself in front of the opponents’ net.

Mark Recchi had an interesting career with the Philadelphia Flyers and the other teams he played for.  The Right Wing would post his best individual seasons as a Flyer, but he was a three-time Stanley Cup Champion with three different teams (Pittsburgh in 1991, Carolina in 2006, and Boston in 2011). 

Ron Hextall made history in many ways.  First off, he was the first grandson of a former NHLer to lace up in the league.  He was the first Goalie to score a Goal and not because he was credited with one but because his shot went into the net.  He was the first Goalie to accrue 100 Penalty Minutes in a season.  All of that is impressive enough, but we haven’t even discussed that rookie season.
