#8: Brian Propp, LW, Flyers: 1979-1990

"“Prolific scorer and playmaker, [Propp] ranks among the franchise’s all-time leading point producers.” – ChatGPT"

ChatGPT is absolutely right about this one, no bones about it. Brian Propp finished his Flyers career second all-time in goals (369), third all-time in assists (480), and fourth all-time in points (849). Aside from his natural ability and talent, Propp was remarkably consistent at both ends of the ice.

In 11 years in Philly, Propp had four 40-goal seasons and four-30 goal seasons, rapidly propelling him up the ranks of the Flyers’ all-time greats. The winger only managed to suit up for 790 regular season games for the Flyers, but his 849 points prove how efficient he was at his peak. Unfortunately, Propp never won any Stanley Cups with the Flyers, and never won any awards to be individually recognized for his performances.

The former Brandon Wheat Kings ace was traded to the Bruins in 1990, and not too long after that, his health and production started to drastically decline. Propp enjoyed one last productive year with the Minnesota North Stars in the 1990-91 season, but failed to crack 40 points or 70 games played in any of the ensuing three seasons.

Propp was at his best in Philly, and it’s only fair that he is recognized and remembered that way too.
