A Philadelphia Flyer for seven full seasons and parts of two others, Braydon Coburn and his 6'5” frame would later be considered to be a steal for the Flyers when they traded Alexei Zhitnik to get him.  In Coburn’s first full season as a Flyer, he would have career highs of 9 Goals, 27 Assists, and 36 Points.  Coburn proved to be a solid presence on the blueline for Philadelphia throughout his tenure there.
We have another member of the two Stanley Cup Championship teams from the 1970s 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.

A solid scorer, Murray Craven provided solid offensive support for the two Philadelphia Flyers teams that made the Stanley Cup Finals twice in the 1980s.

A strong and imposing force, Behn Wilson was the 7th overall pick of the 1978 Draft, and his combination of skill and size made him perfect for a Philadelphia fanbase.  Wilson racked up a lot of penalty minutes, often acting as the team’s enforcer, but he could playmake too, as he never had fewer than 20 Assists in a season, peaking with 47 in his All-Star 1980/81 Season.  He would also finish 5th in Defensive Point Shares that year.
