Rick Tocchet began and ended his playing career with the Philadelphia Flyers which sandwiched seasons in Pittsburgh (where he would win a Stanley Cup), Los Angeles, Boston, Washington and Phoenix but he would score 508 of his 952 Points in the National Hockey League with the Flyers.  Tocchet was a bruising power forward who while he would have great individual seasons elsewhere was a player who was synonymous with the ethos of Philadelphia.  Notably, the only season that he would finish in the top ten in Hart Trophy voting was as a Flyer (1990-91).  He was chosen for the Flyers Hall of Fame in 2021.
Joe Watson was chosen by Philadelphia in the Expansion Draft from the Boston Bruins and the original Flyer would become a stabilizing blueline presence from day one of the organization.  Watson would be named to two All-Star Games and he was a large part of the team’s Stanley Cup win in both 1974 and 1975.  Watson was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame in 1996.

Rod Brind’ Amour played 20 seasons in the National Hockey League, 9 of which were as a Philadelphia Flyer.  Brind’ Amour would actually play more longer with Carolina and arguably had more success there but he had better individual statistics with Philly.

Watson played in the National Hockey league for ten seasons and all of them were with the Philadelphia Flyers.
