40. Behn Wilson

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.

39. Iikka Sinisalo

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.
