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.

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.
