One of Dorions coveted off season acquisitions .. Better late than never. Seems like a good guy.. not much left in the tank

Brannstrom up, Coburn waived? About time

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Taxi squad bound.

Well we got a 2nd and got to give coburn a spin.
Can't wait for the brannstrom.

I'd bet that he has played his last NHL game at this point. We seem to get a lot of those guys that have their last hoorah in the league and are gone shortly after.

We've played 20% of our season. This is too little too late but good to see nonetheless. We'll see injuries and Coburn again. Hopefully he can transition into more of a mentor and not have to worry about getting abused on the ice like he did last night.

Good DJ

Pretty sure the 2nd round pick was the coveted acquisition in that trade, and Paquette to a lesser extent. Definitely not Coburn.

Thought Reilly was worse but either is fine.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Thank God. I don’t know the last time I was this happy to see us put someone on waivers(I think only Reilly on waivers can top this feeling).

DJ proves to us that the first 5-7 games were preseason substitutes. It backfired badly due to their performances. But he’s slowly getting back to his ways last year.

Just remove Stepan now off first PP and I’ll be happy once more.

Any chance he gets claimed? We should put some other guys on waivers too. I think at some point we see Logan Brown and Formenton in this lineup.

As bad as Reilly is in his own zone at times, he does actually bring something to the table we don't really have, which is a PMD that can play the 2PP. He's also atleast trying out there. Coburn on the other hand brought nothing to the table, and was completely apathetic.

Is Coburn the easiest name people consistently misspell? See 'Cobourn' all over the place.

Reilly will be next once Wolanin is healthy and ready to return:

Chabot-Zaitsev
Brannstrom-Zub
Wolanin-Gudbranson

He was not a coveted acquisition

We should be able to replace that role as the year moves on and Brannstrom and Wolanin are in the lineup. Hopefully Reilly can be pushed out down the line and used as purely a PP specialist for the time being.

I think Reilly's gaffes were very notable, and sadly memorable, but in general Coburn was bad every shift.

The deal that acquired him was actually one of Dorion's better moves, cost neutral because we sent out two LTIR contracts, got a 2nd, and two warm bodies that could suit up for games if needed. If he had worked out as a roster player, great, if he ends up as a taxi squad guy, still better than paying Gaborik'7s deductable or Nilsson. Free 2nd.

DJ playing him over other options is another matter.

Pretty sure he had to be part of the deal with Tampa to help out there cap situation...
