Braydon Coburn

[dats81]

I've seen a couple of games recently where Grossmann was clearly better than Coburn.
That's more on Coburn though and how inconsistent he has been.

Coburn had a miserable start to his season, but he's been much better for a decent chunk of time now. I feel like most people can't let go of his start, but he's been more than fine the last several games. Still in a role he shouldn't be in, but if he's going to play like he's played recently, I have nothing to complain about.

Ditto ^


Having said this if we can get a 1st rounder and a roster player I would be ok with trading him but I would rather reconstitute the D properly and resign him. People just keep getting hung up on how he's not a number 1 d man...yeah we get it...he's not!

I agree for the right price though. Personally i would even take a 1st alone for him and have 2 1st this year becuase of how deep the draft is this year and what we have waiting in the wings, not to mention we have 2 d healthy scratched every night who are both relatively servicable and not that many leaps and bounds below Coburn. That being said, if the price isnt right, id resign him at a decent price. We cant risk strapping ourselves with more bad contracts. His contract year, we do lose Umbergers and 1 more year of Vinny, so at the right price his contract year we will only be stuck with Amac's bad deal

I think we can get somebody to overpay to be honest. Hextall needs to be patient. Thankfully Holmgren is not at the helm. He would probably trade Coburn for a first and then trade it like we did that year we drafted Sbisa and then got Eminger for the 2nd of the 1st rounders!

Having said this I still lean to keeping Coburn as a veteran presence with more mileage to give....but yeah no crazy contract

I don't see the Flyers paying Coburn what he will get on the open market after next season, so I think now is the time to move him at the deadline if you can get a top 20 pick in the draft.

We aren't winning the Cup this year or next so replacing Coburn with MacDonald, Colaiacovo, or even a guy like Alt is not a big deal.

I don't think Coburn will see 6 million unless he signs with a team like Edmonton. He probably sees a deal like Orpik saw this offseason(Grossly overpaid) or around there. If we don't find a taker for him, I surly wouldn't mind keeping him. Pronger and Streits contract come off a year after he is due for a new contract.

Coburn is younger and more mobile than Orpik. I think $6 million is pretty much a shoe-in for him.

I would love to know what other offers there were for Orpik. I wish capgeek didn't die so we could have a better understanding of our cap for this and the following year.

6 million would have to be the absolute upper limit I would ever pay for him. That would have to be on a 3-4 year deal too. He probably gets 6 years on the market.

Wow I didn't know about Capgeek! That's crazy. Loved that site. Hope the guy recovers. If not, I hope a similar site pops up. Both useful and fun at times.

I just can't see the Flyers paying him $6 million with MacDonald locked up for 5 more years at $5 million per and Streit with a few years left at over $5 million too. If they move Streit at the deadline for a 1st rounder than maybe..

I'd rather see him moved for a top 20 pick if at all possible.

Let's not forget that Coburn was injured at the beginning of the season and he likely wasn't 100% when he came back.

Coburns not a guy to ask for 6. No way. Amac contract more likely.

He is permanently injured, it's his brain
