Rumor: Lightning calling teams about Coburn and Koekkoek

[VoluntaryDom]

He's probably the 13th forward in Montreal to start the year, but he would mesh a lot better with Tampa's forwards. No guarantees that either Koekkoek or Scherbak become anything more than replacement players but I think it's the basis of a fair deal, and one that gives both players a fair shot at success

Scherbak being a RW could help him tbh, here’s a lines idea I have if the deal goes through

Miller-Stamkos-Kucherov
Gourde-Point-Joseph
Killorn-Cirelli-Scherbak
Palat-Johnson-Erne

Idk just spitballing, that’s 4 really balanced lines though

Coburn would be a good fit in Edmonton, I have no idea how they're spent to the cap icing that team though.....

Dale Weise and the Flyers' 3rd for Coburn.
Would fit well with Sanheim and could help on the PK.

 

[Heldig]

Maybe give Arizona a call? They could use a veteran to mentor some of their young guys.

Don't bother. The Coyotes are fine with veteran D. OEL Hjalmarsson Demers and Goligoski play in the top 5.

So is SK going on waivers ?

Weise is garbage and has one more year. Why would TB do that?

Scherbak
Benn

For

Koekoek
5th round pick

Final years for both Scherbak and Koekoek. Both RFAs. Could fill a need for both sides. Montreal needs a mobile left dman. Tampa can use Scherbak’s size and offensive ability for the bottom 6. He could be mentored through Kucherov as well.

Benn gives a security blanket veteran guy if anything happens on the left side as McDonagh or Sergachev can move up and have Benn like Coburn who can play both sides.

The 5th is to equal value off and the Habs seem to like to work with their 5th round picks at the draft.

Just do Scherbak for Koekkoek if that's the main basis of the deal. Then waive Jordie Benn. Most teams want to clear roster spots, effective trades should better allocate bottom of the line-up depth for teams (Montreal has too many waiver eligible wingers, Tampa wants to make room for Cernak)

I'm still leaving a message on their answering machine.

Trade Koekkoek to St. Louis and room him with Jordan Kyrou.

I don't care the asking price.

Make it happen.
