Philadelphia Flyers 20 Greatest Goal Scores in History

20. Paul Holmgren

The name of the 20th all-time goal scorer might sound familiar for his current job. Paul Holmgren was formally the  general manager and now current president of the Philadelphia Flyers organization. However, before he took on this role, he was a physically aggressive right winger. Holmgren was drafted by the Flyers in the sixth-round of the 1975 NHL Amateur Draft. His first season with the Flyers saw Holmgren only suit up for one game. The 1976-1977 NHL season saw Holmgren play in 59 games. He was with the Philadelphia Flyers for six and a half years and awhile he’s made the Number 20 spot on the list, he has quite the reputation in the NHL.

Holmgren was a tough player and often found himself in trouble with the NHL. He had a six-game suspension once for clubbing New York Rangers player Carol Vadnais. Holmgren wound up being one of the most suspended Flyers players of all time. He was suspended nine times during his career. Yet Holmgren managed to rack up a considerable number of goals and ended his time with the Flyers with 138 goals.
