I always thought Timonen was the best defensemen I saw play for the Flyers. He obviously wasn’t a big guy so he played a super smart game where he was a few mental steps ahead of opposing players. He was crafty, savvy and just so reliable

Bob the Count Dailey has entered the chat. He was a beast! Score, defend and a mean streak a mile wide

I was too young to really remember Mark Howe that well as a Flyer so my answer will be Kimmo Timonen. Pronger just wasn’t here long enough.

They need a square for best brawler. Its brashear

I mean if Yandle is able to get ‘Worst’ with only being here for 1 season than I have to say Pronger is my answer. But if we are going for longevity here than it’s Howe.

Timonen was the best I’ve seen
If Pronger counts… Pronger.
Mark Howe.
Mark Howe. He’s got his number retired for a reason!
It’s Mark Howe.
It’s not even close.
Pronger.
If Pronger is not eligible, then Mark Howe.
Pronger was the best defenseman to wear a Flyers jersey. Howe was the best Flyers defenseman. Take that how you will.
Howe
Kinda out of pocket to pick Pelle here. Wasted potential is supposed to be a player that never pans out in my eyes.
Mark Howe by quite a bit.
Mark Howe and it’s not even close. Pronger wasn’t here long enough.
Until Lindros, Mark Howe was the only retired number not to have won a Cup. That just shows how good he is.
How are we forgetting about Éric Desjardins?
edit: Alright, Howe is better, but Desjardins has to be #2. Just crazy to not even see him mentioned
Has to be Mark Howe
Éric Desjardins. Pronger and Timonen are also 2 other very good candidate !
Mark Howe is the only correct answer
CHRIS PRONGER FTW!
Mark Howe
Mark Howe
Eric Desjardins for d
Radko gudas
If Yandle was here long enough to be worst, Pronger should be best here
Howe is in the rafters for a reason
It’s Mark Howe by a country mile. Just wrap this one up.
Eric Desjardins
Pronger.
Mark Howe
Howe all time. Timonen more recently though.
