As did Bobby Orr.
I might be the biggest Orr fan here, but his being 4th on that list is aided by the fact that he only played 36 games after the spring that he turned 27.
Bossy retired young as well (at 30).

Orr was alsoplaying on the knees of a 50 year old in the latter part of his career. And the fact that he is even on these lists speak for itself.
Greatest to ever lace them up.
As for this Gauthierkid, the Flyers sure seem to be going out of their way to assassinate his character. IMO you kind of cede the high road after that.
