and it did not involve Flyers. No surprise there.

Still, The Flyers West (L.A. Kings) made the big splash acquiring Dustin Penner from the Edmonton Oilers for Colton Teubert a 1st round pick and another conditional pick.

That's a big add for the Kings who have been playing some really nice hockey of late.

In other trades:

Another former Flyer was dealt as Ryan Potulny and a 2nd round pick were shipped from Chicago to Ottawa for Defensemen Chris Campoli.

The other intriguing deal saw Carolina get Bryan Allen from Florida (where else) for Sergei Samsonov.

The Hurricanes, a possible first round opponent for the Flyers, are adding some nice pieces to try to make a run to A. Get in the playoffs, and B. play the role of Cinderella.
