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.

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.
