16. Jimmy Watson

Watson played in the National Hockey League for ten seasons, all with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Watson was a more than solid blueliner who was big and imposing, but was a smart player who did not accumulate a lot of penalties.  Watson could be used on the penalty kill, power play, and was an adept playmaker when he needed to be.  Watson was a five-time All-Star who helped the Flyers win back-to-back Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975, and would be inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame in 2016.
