    Mark Howe. He’s got his number retired for a reason!

  6. Shamrock_6

    Pronger.

    If Pronger is not eligible, then Mark Howe.

  7. Big_Acanthocephala14

    Pronger was the best defenseman to wear a Flyers jersey. Howe was the best Flyers defenseman. Take that how you will.

    Kinda out of pocket to pick Pelle here. Wasted potential is supposed to be a player that never pans out in my eyes.

  11. PaddyMayonaise

    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

  14. Material-Assistant94

    Éric Desjardins. Pronger and Timonen are also 2 other very good candidate !

  15. shrimply__pibbles

    Mark Howe is the only correct answer

  21. Stew514

    If Yandle was here long enough to be worst, Pronger should be best here

  23. dishwasher_mayhem

    It’s Mark Howe by a country mile. Just wrap this one up.

  27. Letskissthesky

    Howe all time. Timonen more recently though.

    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

    Kimmo Timmonen. No one could shut down ovi, and malkin like him

  41. Gelnhausenjim

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

  42. Diseman81

    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.

  43. Bug--Man

    They need a square for best brawler. Its brashear

  44. sb-logic

    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.
