Listen are you guys gonna tiptoe around this forever or what? Arlo just go ahead and ask him on a date already. This is like watching a jr high relationship unfold.



We get it, both of you are CPHL badasses

Im way out of Arlo's league ( notice im building my own team not piggy backing off someone else and claiming credit) ... so not too jealous...

This is exciting. I wish thread views were like site hits.

Update: Flyers Acquire Patrick Elias

To Philadelphia: Patrick Elias, 2nd 2012, cold cash
To Buffalo: 20th, 24th, Christain Thoams, Maxim Kitsyn

I'd been after another top 6 winger and Elias fits the bill. I wasn't going to be around for the draft so giving away picks was the idea.

Still looking for another scoring winger.

[Da_Chief]

Couple more deals.

To Philadelphia: Ryan Callahan, cold cash
To LA: Riley Sheahan, Kevin Hayes, Kiril Kabanov, Conditional 1st 2012

I like Callahan's game and he certainly fits what I'm trying to do, with 2 way forwards all over the lineup.

To Philadelphia: Joe Thornton
To Edmonton: Mikko Koivu, Brock Nelson

I didn't wana move Mikko but getting Jumbo Joe was no brainer. Getzlaf and Thornton wil create matchup problem for the opposition.

I am now looking to acquire a #5 dman, I only have about 3 mill left in cheese and will need you to send me the money if you wana trade me your dman.

[SweetDoc]

This was a deal that Joe and I tried a couple times and finally made it happen. I like Callahan but this was a deal I had to make based on the return. Thanks for the negotiations Joe, it was fun.

I subsequently traded Hayes to the Panthers for Ryder and some cap. Thanks Matt for the easy deal.

Update: Flyers trade Getzlaf

To Philadelphia: Pavel Datsyuk, Stuart Percy, Tye Mcginn, cold cash
To Anaheim: Ryan Getzlaf, midget the Flames drafted

I wanted more defence out of my top line center and dats provides that quite easily. Getting a trade asset like Percy also helps. Quick easy deal.

[I wanna be like Miikka]

We tried moving perry for getz earlier but it didn't work. We are glad to have ultimately made that happen in a round about way using Datsyuk.

[TurdFerguson]

So Crosby, stamkos, getzlaf and datsyuk all get moved today...just another slow summer day in the cphl!

Good deal gents

[Da_Chief]

Update: Campoli out - Hejda in

To Philadelphia: Jan Hejda
To Edmonton: Chris Campoli, Tyson Strachan, Joey Crabb

Needed an upgrade on Campoli and Hejda fit the bill. Easy deal.

I am still looking for another top 4 dman, rated around 69-70.

[Da_Chief]

Update: 2 moves

To Philadelphia: Lubo Visnovsky
To Winnipeg: Kyle Brodziak, Erik Gustafsson, Stuart Percy, 2013 Philly 1st

This move was made about a week ago. I needed to find another elite puck moving dman after moving Boyle and Visnovsky does that. Gave up more futures but time is now in Philly.

To Philadelphia: Dan Hamhuis, Joel Armia
To Columbus: Chris Pronger, cold cash

This was a cost cutting move, although the downgrade isn't too much. Hamhuis can still play top 4 and Armia adds to couple prospect I have.

I will be looking to add a cheap depth dman otherwise the defence is now in place.

Suter-Visnovsky
Burns-Hamhuis
Martin-Hejda

[Da_Chief]

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.

Update: Koivu gets moved for the 3rd time on this page

To Philadelphia: Duncan Siemens, Mark Schiefile, Brad Boyes, Wash 2013 1st
To Columbus: Mikko Koivu, Phi 3rd 2013

I like the return, plus yay I made a trade!

[MJK]

A fair deal IMO and one that makes sense for us. We compared Koivu to the Stastny deal but in this trade we didn't have to give up one of our elite bluechippers like Schenn. Boyes was a good UFA pickup (IMO) and a popular guy according to league sources. Schiefile and Siemens are solid prospects but at the end of the day we are happy acquiring Koivu while holding onto our very best prospects.

A fairly easy trade and one that didn't take too long.

Thanks.
