Braydon Coburn

Calgary says they can spend to the cap.

The Flames might be interested in Coburn if they are still in playoff position at the deadline. If he does leave the Flyers, I would love to see him go there and hopefully torment the Oilers for many years.

if we did trade him to the oilers, the only thing we would want from them would be draft picks.

This would be an ideal location to trade him to. Calgary did admit they were still thinking long term with trades though but Coburn has been a target of Burkie before I believe while he was in Toronto. Coburn for their 1st rounder+Sven Baertschi

I would want Calgary's 2015 1st for Coburn. They could protect it in case they miss the playoffs and win the lottery, which case we get their 2015 2nd and 2015 3rd/2016 2nd.

I would want to do what the islanders did last year. We either get their 2015 pick or 2016 first. they get to decide.

Flames fans said no to the 1st rounder.

HF values draft picks too highly, has anyone ever said that before?

I think that is a trend that is going to become more and more popular among nhl teams too.

In my opinion of the 10 goals against, one was Coburn's fault, two were inconclusive, and seven were not his fault. Over those same 10 goals against, Grossmann was out there with Coburn on six of them, and was at fault for just as many. This is less an indictment of Grossmann and more of a plea to not pin the failings of the penalty kill on any one individual. Especially the guy that has played the most minutes in recent years on one of the league's top penalty kills.

We've seen it enough times now to know that Coburn functions far better as the #2 on a given pairing. We've seen him excel with Timonen and be pedestrian when asked to do more. It's not as if Coburn is without fault with respect to the sideshow the Flyers call a defense corps right now.

However, choosing an arbitrary line in the sand by which to judge goals against numbers isn't reflective of Coburn's play. He shouldn't be scratched for it. He is not to blame for the bad penalty kill. It's just ... a pretty bad penalty kill that really misses a couple of key contributors.

How did the PK get so much worse? It has to be whatever that bogus "aggressive adjustment" Berube was talking about.

 

[Tripod]

So does anyone see any scenario in which Coburn gets re-signed? I really don't.

Not if Hextall is truly different than Holmgren.

 

[Flyerss]

i remember Hextall saying in a video about the Hartnell trade that we needed to clear some cap space to resign some guys in the near future he mentioned Voracek,Coots,Schenn and Coburn.

The loss of Timonen along with the new system.

I saw two in which he said resigning guys, but neither mentioned names. Searched, but could not find the one you saw.

Video on Hextall.

Aside: next video in line is about Lindros. Worth watching.

not the exact same what i said but i think it's a hint.

I think that might change between then and when his contract is up, especially if the core four defensive prospects develop enough by then

Meh, I wouldn't be too into that due to the Flyers being a bad team without a 2nd round pick. Another year of Coburn is worth at least that. If it's a team on the playoff bubble, i'd make it a '15 1st if they make the playoffs OR a '15 2nd plus '16 3rd. If it's a 1st this year that's fine. If it's not, then it needs to be multiple picks, the Flyers gave up 2 each for MacDonald, Grossmann, and Kubina. If we're talking a true contender, then it's a '15 1st+.

Oh, he did say Coburn specifically. Yikes. Only thing worse would have been adding Grossmann in there as well.

I'd love that deal

A lot of Tampa fans sure are ready to get rid of him.

 

[Curufinwe]

Some Tampa fan did a great fake Craigslist ad about Carle.

But Berube is not the primary coach of the PK unit. I thought that was cocunut heads job.
