Dan McGillis had his seasons in his career when he was with the Philadelphia Flyers, where the Defenseman would post two 45 Point seasons, the second of which would see him finish fourteenth in Norris Trophy voting.  He would have 140 Points over his 340-game tenure with the Flyers.
Known as a scrappy agitator who could get under the skin of any opposing player, Ken Linseman was also an adept scorer who averaged .96 Points per Game when he was with Philadelphia.  A Flyer for four seasons early in his career (and a half season late in it) Linseman had a 92 Point campaign in 1981-82, which was the last year of his Flyers’ first run.  He is better remembered, though, for his 1980 Playoff performance, where he scored a playoff-leading 18 Assists in the Flyers' run into the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the New York Islanders.  Linseman would later win a Cup with the Edmonton Oilers.
A veteran of 1,086 NHL Games, Brad Marsh would play 514 of them with Philadelphia, which was by far the most he played for any team.  Marsh was never a scoring Defenseman as he only scored 14 Goals for Philadelphia with 96 Assists, and he was excellent in his role as a stay-at-home blueliner who was an exceptional puck clearer.  He would finish seventh in Defensive Point Shares in the 1984/85 Season and helped the Flyers reach two Stanley Cups.

As of this writing, Sean Couturier is in his fourteenth season in the National Hockey League, all of which have been with the Philadelphia Flyers.  Couturier was the eighth overall Draft Pick in 2011, and it did not take long for the Center to prove his worth to the team.  In his third season, Couturier finished ninth in Frank J. Selke voting and would finish eighth in voting in his fifth season.  Couturier’s game reached a new high in 2017/18 when his offensive game exploded to a 31 Goal/76 Point season, which essentially doubled anything he had done before.  He was the runner-up for the Frank J. Selke Award that season, and he equaled his Points total the following year.  In 2019/20, Couturier won his first individual accolade, the Selke, though he has yet to be in the running since.
