Confirmed Trade: [NYI/OTT] Braydon Coburn for 2022 7th round pick

[Abradolf Lincler]

Look at that stacked team he had. Missing the finals was a failure. He should have been fired.

The Islanders were stacked compared to Tampa?

 

[periferal]

A guy who will probably never play another NHL game for a pick that will probably never play an NHL game.

I was thinking that it’s funny that we traded for Coburn and it’s possible we never see him in an actual islanders uniform. Lol

Trotz is not a deep playoffs coach, got lucky with Ovechkin.

Did he get lucky last year too?

Wait is this the new narrative? I can't keep up

 

[Chardo]

Welcome to the team, Braydon. Now go sit over there and watch. We'll call you if we need you.

He got lucky with Jean-Gabriel Pageau. The kid plays only during playoffs as a top 6 forward and the rest of the season ))).

One of my favourite parts of this trade,
it further extends Hossa's legacy in Ottawa

Hossa was originally traded from Ottawa August 23, 2005

i completely understand your comment and believe this is what NHL GMs are thinking too. I dont understand how a GM doesnt believe their season is over tho, if you are in the playoffs and have enough injuries that you are playing Coburn. If it gets to that point your team is eliminated and just doesnt know it yet. Also understand a 7th round pick does not matter.

You can say that about any team. If one of your top 6 goes down and Coburn has to play full time, yes, your season is probably done. But as a depth guy that MAYBE sees a couple games, you could do much worse

 

[lazycop]

a 7th? Basically a waiver claim for a guy who's probably not gonna play anyway. Meh, depth for us.

Lol, where did you find this?...is there a site that generates these?

So he’s like the John Grahame of 2021.

 

[triggrman]

I remember when he was in all the comparison polls against Weber, Suter, Phanuef, etc....

Thats awesome.

This dangerous mortgaging of the future that LL is doing just shows what an incompetent senile mess he is. He needs to start browsing the waiver wire to make up for this ineptitude. I hope Robbie Schrempf is available.

I'd prefer Jeff Invissillini.

Speed kills.

Is the Lindros trade still being felt or is that finally done with?

So many names.

Hey #16 down on the end ! Can you stand up so Braydon can sit . You’ve been sitting for years now . Sit on the floor if you have to .

Did Lou trade for Coburn as a player Scout or 7th D man foreseeing a potential match up against TB in the final 4? If it is for the former, or both, this is a macro level genius level of Managing. Coburn spent 6 full seasons with TB. I am sure he knows all the moves of TB's players. Any other GM, maybe not. Lou? You never know.

Hmmmm...

Yah those Tampa players probably spent years going right around him at practice making him look terrible. Now they get to do it in an NHL playoff series

Or what better scout to have than a player that has watched, played and practiced with them for over 6 years? This type of knowledge is more in depth than sending a pro scout to scout TB playoff games. And why not both? It may mean nothing, it may mean something. If you are not a GM that is looking for an edge, you are probably not a very good GM. It's all about getting an edge to win.
