25 Greatest Philadelphia Flyers of the Last 25 Years (1992-2017)-#16

[Lotusflower]

Dog days of summer so I thought this would be a good time to try to put this together.

Just picked Patrick 2nd obviously and with a ton of new faces both already on the team and ready to debut in '17 it feels like the beginning of a new era for the franchise.

25 is also a tidy number so of course there's that as well.

Spanning the beginning of the Lindros era (give or take) til now which players make up the board's consensus for best of the last 25 years? I added goalies as well because I want a hard and fast and more or less "definitive" list.

Use your own criteria for your decision and after you vote if you feel like it post who you voted for and why.

*The way I've been voting is how the player in question played:
-FOR (only) the Flyers and
-DURING the window in question (Oct. of 1992- April of 2017) / Last 25 Years

Thanks all.

*We're starting to get down towards the slightly more obscure names so if there is anyone who you might vote for down the line that you dont see up here let me know so I can add them*

Winner of Poll #15 is: Pronger, Chris.

Voting again for the perennial runner-up haha... Ron Hextall.

He had the lead late in the last Round only to be passed by Pronger at the wire.

... This is really getting old.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Foppa

I voted Hexy for the first time this round. This is it.

You may well be the good luck supporter who finally gets the job done.

 

[kelmitchell]

Ill go hexy this round, although i think kp and forsberg are extremely close

 

[Beef Invictus]

It isn't Carle

 

[Ruck Over]

I count about 8 players that should make the list, with some recency bias being acceptable.

Coots
Foppa
Hartnell (down)
Prim
Ghost
Roenick
Booch
Hexy

That leaves about 2 other spots. Voting Hexy this round, more for nostalgia than his on ice success during this time period.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Hextall in his second stint I don't think should be as high as he looking to be.

 

[kelmitchell]

Hextall in his second stint I don't think should be as high as he looking to be.

I think its only because hes the gm now, im honestly only voting for hom this time just for the fact i know everyone seems to want him so im getting it out of the way because om tired of it going down to the wire with him and players that should be higher on the list

 

[Sawdalite]

What a revolting development this is. SMH

I suppose I should take this as confirmation of some divine intervention that Hextall will never make the Top 25 List. LOL

He was a lock with the lead as the Poll was expiring... then the migration... NOW... no Poll. WTF... I give up.

If it makes you feel any better, Hextall is likely the only player that will make the top 25 of the last 25 years that would also make the top 25 of the FIRST 25 years. That's pretty awesome.

At this rate, it's not a lock he makes it in any Round of the last 25 years... LOL

He will make it!

 

[Sawdalite]

He will make it!

Correction... he DID make it... He was robbed. Haha
