Throughout the years, there has not been very many NHL franchises that could boast the quality lineups that the Philadelphia Flyers has put out on the ice.

Year after year, decade after decade, the Flyers were able to find a few diamonds in the rough, more than their fair share of franchise players and a few Hall of Fame inductees along the way.

A new hockey book says the NHL's Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs almost traded cities in the early 1980s.

The biography of one-time Oilers owner Peter Pocklington says the scheme called for the entire team to move to Toronto to play in Maple Leaf Gardens.

The Leafs, in turn, would have found a home in Edmonton's new arena, which at that time was called the Coliseum.
