And here is 1997-2007

This is a tough one.

1. Simon Gagne
This make shock some people, but when you look at his entire body of work during this time frame, I think it is deserved
2. Jeremy Roenick
3. Mark Recchi
4. Eric Desjardins
5. Kim Johnsson
6. Peter Forsberg
7. Roman Cechmanek
8. Mike Knuble
9. Michal Handzus
10. Sami Kapanen

Also in the running:
Eric Lindros- came close but other than 98-99 up until the collapsed lung, he just didn't do enough to make it. Plus the whole Lindros/Clarke thing, while not all his fault, still has to weigh against him. He has to take some of the blame for that mess

John Leclair- was injured a lot during this time frame and outside of 2 seasons in those 10 years was not really an impact player

Chris Therien- came close, but just didn't make the cut

And finally, 2007-2017

1. Claude Giroux
2. Kimmo Timonen
3. Danny Briere
4. Scott Hartnell
5. Chris Pronger
6. Braydon Coburn
7. Jeff Carter
8. Mike Richards
9. Jake Voracek
10. Wayne Simmonds

Just missed the cut
Jaromir Jagr
Steve Mason
Simon Gagne

Sean Couturier

So with the Flyers having turned 50, I thought it would be fun to break it down into 10 year segments and pick the top 10 Flyers in each era.

Here are my top 10 for 1967-1977

1. Bobby Clarke
2. Bernie Parent
3. Rick Macleish
4. Bill Barber
5. Ed Van Impe
6. Barry Ashbee
7. Gary Dornhoefer
8. Dave Schultz
9. Joe Watson
10. Andre Lacroix

1977-1987 will follow soon.
- BiggE

I am surprised to see Andre Lacroix on this list. I grew up with his son in the summers in Brigantine. Good guy, scary slap shot (Andre Jr. I mean)

He was the Flyers best offensive weapon from 1968 to 1970 and the closest thing they had to a #1 center until Clarke came around.

Always loved Knuble, class act.

Doesn't shock me. When looking at all factors, in my opinion you have Gagne exactly where he should be for that era.

Bill Meltzer: Flyers 25 in 25: Mike Knuble, Quick Hits on Voracek and Others
- bmeltzer

Two reasons why we don't win a Cup in 2010 and Mike Knuble is one. Ray Emery's early season injury. Emery would have easily been the best goalie in that 2010 final. Mike Knuble jumping ship to Washington is the other reason. Knuble was as good as any in front of the net. With this said, if Knuble doesn't go to Washington, we probably don't see Ville Leino play ina Flyers uniform.

Keith Primeau.

Knuble was the only person that my wife was honestly star struck in meeting She's met countless Flyers and even met Sir Patrick Stewart, but she had to sit down and collect herself after she met Knuble.

Edit: We went to his first game back in 12/13, and she was so excited to wear her Knuble jersey. I thought she was gonna have a breakdown when he scored.

Has your wife ever dated Mike Knuble?

well if emery was healthy the matchups would have been different.

now if you said if they had emery for just the finals they win I agree.

Keith Primeau.

I always forget someone. Looking back, outside of the 00-01 season and his amazing run during the 03-04 playoffs, Primeau's career with the Flyers was pretty pedestrian. and prior to that playoff run, he had all of 1 goal and 5 points in 22 playoff games with the team. I also never liked his handling of the Bill Barber/players conflict in 2002.

Looking at his entire career with the Flyers, I'm not sure he deserves to be in the top 10, but he certainly deserves at least an honorable mention.

Always thought it was a mistake for the Red Wings to let him go early in his career. But they were stacked on the wing and there was no room for him. Too bad, he had a pretty stellar career.

another later round pick the Wings found.

No. but she probably would have left me for him or Max "Superstar" Talbot.

He'd be hard to hate as a Ranger, and I really don't remember him during his time as one. Although I hate every player for simply being a Ranger, he was pretty much a gentle giant out there and was very classy. Fought Chris Therien as (I believe) a Bruin, but wouldn't tell me why.

I told her to send me a quarter mil and enjoy herself.

Bundy probably snuck in to the locker room and ate all of Knuble's snacks.

Biron turning 40! Met him once, always up for talking hockey and telling stories

Pronman gave us top prospect pool in NHL.

"The Flyers don't have as much game-breaking talent as our No. 2 team does at the top of their system, but 2017 No. 2 overall pick Nolan Patrick is right up there; after Patrick, the Flyers have the cupboards lined with talent at every position. The group includes solid first-round picks, middle-round selections who have trended up, and an undrafted free agent in Philippe Myers who is one of the very best defense prospects in hockey. Not too long ago, the Flyers' farm system was a laughingstock, with C-grade college free agents making it into their top five. Today, they are in the best position of any NHL team in terms of adding young premium players to their roster."
