Confirmed with Link: Coburn Traded to Tampa Bay for Radko Gudas & 2 Picks (1st & 3rd)

[mantis toboggan]

There's no word on if it's Tampa's or the NYR's 1st yet.

Yea I realized that after I posted. I feel like it's whichever one ends up being lower. So I'm just gonna hope both get knocked out in the first round, even though that probly won't happen

 

[Flyotes]

Glad he was finally moved. Nice haul too. As a former Coburn defender, only to watch him really struggle here as he got progressively worse, happy to see him elsewhere where maybe he can regain form and summon beastmode Coburn again. He won't have to shoulder as much in TB.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

Literally an awesome ****ing trade. I'm beyond thrilled

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

so with Gudas done for the season that limits the Flyers trading another defender doesn't it? unless its for a deal like this only for a younger healthy defenseman.
not sure if the Flyers deal Schenn or even Grossmann for just picks. They could get dealt and may very well get traded but it has to be for a player coming back. Coburn's last game as a Flyer was a very strong one and helped the Flyers win.

 

[Sombastate]

We kind of robbed them.

Fantastic trade

fell asleep with radio on and just as i woke up i hear the news. now i cant go back to sleep and i have a job interview at 9:30

Gudas sucks, not sure why we even got him. He makes Luke Schenn look like Bobby Orr skating wise, if you can even believe that.

 

[Harold Bingo]

OK, bedtime now. I expect Hextall to pick up at least 3 more first round picks when I wake up.

Hasta la vista, Coburn.

Braydon Coburn deal to #TBLightning is now official. #flyers get TB's 2015 first-round pick, 2015 third-rounder and Radko Gudas. #NHLTrade

 

[Random Forest]

I'd love to see Coburn win a Cup, but I'd far rather have the 20th pick than the 30th, so I can't imagine I'll be cheering for them. Was hoping it'd be the Rangers' pick.

 

[Flyotes]

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Hextall is starting to earn my trust, big time. He says the right things, and he is now doing them.

 

[kudymen]

Sanheim, Morin, Ghost, Del Zotto, Gudas sounds like a pretty fun D down the road

[GingerFetish]

Who is left we could get a 2nd for besides probably Luke that we are wanting to trade?

Some combo of Grossmann? Read? Emery?

 

[dats81]

Good move selling Coburn now the way the market was evolving.
An additional 1st in a very deep draft would have done it for me, anything else is just whipped cream on the topping...

Unfortunately, we are stuck with Grossmann, MacDonald, Umberger and Lecavalier.

 

[SchennSational1022*]

Luke > Gudas. Hope they don't ship Luke out for Radko ****ing Gudas.....

This is Timonens year anyway, Coburn can wait his turn.

Lightning lose in the first round and Blackhawks win the cup.

Schenn is trash. Even if Gudas is worse, he's only making $1m next year and then we can get rid of him if we want.

 

[GingerFetish]

Ek called it, but if any of those other teams would have won he would have called it as well I suppose.

 

[RJ8812*]

hahha this is amazing

I have never been so happy to see a player traded...except for Carter

I've been praying for this day to come for the past few years. What a great return too.

Thank you Hextall

 

[XDevilBoiX]

Love the trade. Now Hextall should try to get a 3rd for Grossman. Dude is big but fragile as hell.

 

[flybynite77]

So the Flyers now have five picks in the first three rounds of the 2015 draft?

1st Flyers 1st, TB(or NYR)
2nd CHI
3rd SJ and TB

Too bad our own picks are dealt IN THE 2nd and 3rd and the teams we own are good records.

Haven't had five picks in the first three rounds in almost a decade (2006)

 

[SchennSational1022*]

^^^ It's confirmed that it's TBL 2015 1st.

 

[Ryker]

Good trade. A first round pick and white Subban for Coburn is no deal to sneeze at. I was kind of rooting for Tampa to go far this year, but with the pick, I'll settle for a first round exit

 

[PALE PWNR]

Thrilled. Coburn you were a good soldier, thank you for the time.

Is Giroux the longest tenured Flyer now?
