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 7^th 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 5^th in Defensive Point Shares that year.

From Finland, Iikka Sinisalo went undrafted, though that was not that uncommon during the late 70’s.  The Flyers signed him in 1981, and he became a full-time player immediately.  Sinisalo would score back-to-back 70 Point seasons (73 & 76 in 1984/85 & 1985/86, respectively), and his scoring acumen certainly helped the Flyers go to two Stanley Cup Finals in 1985 & 1987.  He would score 409 Points over 526 Games as a Philadelphia Flyer.

A member of the Philadelphia Flyers for their two Stanley Cup wins in the 1970s, Tom Bladon was known for his devastating slapshot and for becoming the first Defenseman to score eight points in a game, which he did in 1977 against the Cleveland Barons.  He would also set a record of +10 in that game, a record that has yet to be equaled.  As a Flyer, Bladon had 270 Points over his career with a very strong Plus/Minus of 186 and two All-Star Game appearances.

Wayne Simmonds became a Philadelphia Flyer after playing his first three years in Los Angeles.  

Proving to be more than a solid player, Simmonds has had two 60 Point seasons for Philadelphia, and he had back-to-back 30 Goal seasons in 2015-16 & 2016-17.  In that latter campaign, he would be named an NHL All-Star.  Despite his skill, the struggling Flyers traded Simmonds to Nashville during the 2018/19 Season, and he won the Mark Messier Leadership Award that year.  

With the Flyers, Simmonds had 378 Points.

The season before Daniel Briere arrived in Philadelphia, he came off a 95 Point Season with the Buffalo Sabres.  Briere did not hit that mark again, but the Centre did have two seasons for Philadelphia of 68 or more Points and a solid .78 Points per Game Average with the Flyers.  Briere was at his best in the postseason for Philadelphia, where his PPG increased to 1.06. In the 2010 Playoffs, Briere helped the Flyers reach the Stanley Cup Finals and was the postseason leader in Assists.  He would be named to the All-Star team the following year.

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. 

Dave Poulin got off to a really slow start in hockey, which makes sense since he began his athletic career as a figure skater and saw hockey as a way to earn a scholarship to Notre Dame.  After college, he played a season in Sweden. The Flyers signed him, and he quickly proved to be valuable, scoring 76, 74, 69, and 70 Points in his first four full seasons with Philadelphia.  Exceptional on the penalty kill, Poulin was skilled on his own side of the ice, where he would win the Frank J. Selke Award in 1987.  Two All-Star Games bookended that accolade.  Poulin would score 394 Points for the Flyers over his 467 Games while playing for them.

From Sweden, Mikael Renberg was a rookie sensation in 1993/94, scoring 82 Points and being put on a line with John LeClair and Eric Lindros to form the very popular “Legion of Doom”.  Renberg would never have a season like his rookie season, but he would have another two 50 Point seasons with Philly.  Renberg was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1997, but the fan favorite returned for two and a half seasons when Tampa traded him back to the Flyers.

Scott Hartnell arrived via trade from the Nashville Predators, and it was a match made in heaven.  The Flyers fans always love gritty power forwards (does the new mascot Gritty kind of resemble Hartnell?), and Hartnell was no different. His fun-loving personality endeared him even more to the city.  Recording most of his goals by crowding the net, Hartnell was a two-time 30-goal scorer and an All-Star in 2012.

Brad McCrimmon may never have been an All-Star when he was with the Philadelphia Flyers, but he was certainly worthy of consideration.  With the Flyers, he would finish in the top five three times in Plus/Minus and the top ten three times in Defensive Point Shares (including a first-place finish in the 1985/86 campaign), and he would have a career high 56 Points in 1985/86.  His overall numbers with Philadelphia would see him score 187 Points with a Plus/Minus of 225.

An imposing figure on the ice at 6’6”, Kjell Samuelsson was a physical blueliner who had his best seasons in the National Hockey League with the Philadelphia Flyers. 

A former captain of the Philadelphia Flyers, Mike Richards, was a late 1st Round pick in the 2003 Draft who would impress everyone with his two-way skills.  The former Centre would have four straight 60 Point seasons (including an 80 Point one) from 2007-08 to 2010-11, where he also received Frank J. Selke Award votes each season.  This included a runner-up campaign, which coincided with the 80 Point season mentioned earlier.

Spending all but 11 of his 764 NHL Games with the Philadelphia Flyers, Chris Therien had a very good career, utilizing his imposing 6'5”, 235 lb frame to push opposing attackers around and stifle offensive rushes.  He was not a scorer, but he was usually on the first line of the defensive corps for Philly, providing a balance on the ice that he did brilliantly.

Like so many good hockey players in the Mid-60’s, Gary Dornhoefer struggled to find a permanent spot in the National Hockey League.  The Right Wing played 62 Games for the Boston Bruins from the 1963-64 to 1965-66 season, but he was never called up in the season before the 1967 Expansion.

After three years with Columbus, Jakub Voracek was traded in a transaction that proved to be very beneficial to Eastern Pennsylvania.  The product of the Czech Republic has had two 80 Points seasons as a Flyers the first of which (2014-15) would see him be a First Team All-NHL Right Wing, where he was second in Assists and fifth in Points.

Andre Dupont was traded midway through the 1972/73 Season from St. Louis, and he would prove to be a perfect fit for Philadelphia.  The Flyers were putting together the “Broad Street Bullies” and Dupont would be in the top seven in Penalty Minutes five times with Philadelphia.

Jeff Carter got off to a good start in the NHL with a 42 Point season in 2005-06, and he would show solid play in his first three seasons.  In his fourth season, the Center would put forth his best regular season, where in 2008-09 he would have a career high 84 Point Season and was the leader in Game-Winning Goals.  Carter also was tenth in Hart Trophy voting that year and would have another pair of 60 Point seasons before he was traded to Columbus.
