Philadelphia chose Joe Watson 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 wins 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, nine of which were as a Philadelphia Flyer.  Brind'Amour would actually play 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, all with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The overall Kansas City Chief resume of Larry Johnson is an inconsistent one.  A 2003 First Round Draft Pick from Penn State, Johnson was not someone who Head Coach Dick Vermeil particularly wanted and their relationship was off to a rocky start.  Johnson saw very little playing time and it took an injury to the incumbent Priest Holmes in Johnson’s second year for him to see any real action, but that would change in 2005.
