Who would you choose for your team, Braydon Coburn or Mark Stuart? Who do you think will have more of an offensive impact? Defensive? Intangibles?

Braydon Coburn don't know much about him but he is a big boy!
We loved Mark Stuart in Boston last year, did not look out of place. While the Scott Stevens comparison seems very silly, he could be similar to Adam Foote at best.
Coburn probably has a higher ceiling, but at this point Stuart is more of a sure thing. If you need someone this year, take Stuart. If you'd rather wait and get more of a top end prospect, take Coburn.
Agreed There are several D-men taken after Coburn that have shown far more than he has!!I hope everyone picking Coburn knows something I don't. It's too soon to call him a bust, but not too soon to start worrying that he won't come close to realizing his potential. He, along with Ryan Suter and Dion Phaneuf, was considered the cream of the defensive crop at the '03 draft. Three years later, those two have left him in their dust. If Coburn makes the Thrashers' sorry roster out of training camp, it will be because of his potential, not because of his play to date.
