Couple more moves, Koivu back in Philly.
To Philadelphia: Mikko Koivu
To Edmonton: Patrick Elias, Marcus Folgino, Brandon Burlon, Joel Armia
I'd been after Mikko for awhile after trading him away, glad to bring him back.
Flyer hire DeBoer
Dan Bylsma and Cory Clouston were also in the running for the head coaching job in Philadelphia but Peter DeBoer wins the race. All indication led to Clouston being brought back and that was even after his NHL firing but moving forward I just felt DeBoer was the best fit. The deciding factor was the money, he wanted the least amount, 110K for next year and he can get extended if he shows well if not, probably get fired.
