A shattered ankle early in the 1981/82 season would eventually lead to his early retirement at the age of 28, and had he been able to compete longer, he definitely would be ranked much higher.
Still, this a player who had a very good (especially for a Defenseman) Points per Game Average of .64 with 296 Points overall.
37. Bob Dailey
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.
