gold star for USAHOF

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Philadelphia Flyers.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Flyers could not make the playoffs, but we still saw one new entrant and two elevations.

As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:

1. Bobby Clarke
2. Bernie Parent
3. Bill Barber
4. Eric Lindros
5. Mark Howe

You can find the entire list here.

Team Captain Sean Couturier returned from injury and climbed to spot to #29.

Another Center, Travis Konecny, rose to #32 from #38.

The lone addition is Travis Sanheim, who will debut at #47.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

As of this writing, Sean Couturier is in his twelfth 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 Centre 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.
