Make a move?

[Mgkibbles]

Wouldn't mind making a minor move getting a depth forward with skating ability. Knuble, Rusty and Talbot are hard to watch. Especially Knuble. Yuck.

I didn't think Fedotenko was a bad skater, and I always thought Talbot was above average. At any rate, Eric Wellwood is available in Adirondack for nothing if skating is what you want.

I was excited for the Fedotenko signing because he was pretty good for the Rangers. It's become clear that he struggles a lot in Lavi's system. Did Homer get anybody in the offseason that fits with Lavi?

I've actually liked Harry Z more than Feds this season.

Yea, but unfortunately Wellwood and Harry Z don't seem very trustworthy in their own end.

I don't mind Wellwood's defense. But perhaps I am not watching closely enough.

If Holmgren's going to swing for the fences, I'm hoping it's Coburn that he's offering up. Would love to see Coburn moved for a puck moving defenseman.

i wonder if BUF starts selling.

would they dump vanek's contract or erhoff only has about 8 year left on his contract.

Trade for (Mike) Weber. Moral victory.

What puck moving defenseman might you have in mind?

Not sure who you have in mind ? But do not forget that Coburn is a helluva fast skater and is pretty damn solid come playoff time ?

What is a guy like Rinaldo worth? A second? A third? B level prospect?

A guy like Rinaldo is worth keeping.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Brassard? Derek Brassard? The center?

I really hope not.

Considering what Homer paid for Carbomb a while back, I'd say a 1st round pick?

 

[WeekendAtBernies]

Wouldn't necessarily want to make a giant shake-up right now, but in the off-season, what would a package of Braydon Coburn + Sean Couturier + 2014 1st be worth?

Surely that has to be in the territory of landing a Pietrangelo, doesn't it?

And I'd assume Coburn + Couturier would be around what it'd take to get OEL.

That would be hard to swallow but if that gets you OEL or Pietra I am down.

Haha, it's so funny seeing you hate Coburn so much, but I'm kind of getting fed up with myself. That penalty he got tonight against Winnipeg was just pure stupidity on his part. I wouldn't expect this from our supposedly second best defenseman.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

the Coburn hate is picking up steam. with the exception of a very small handfull of games hes been pretty bad.

Well, if he can be used to get OEL or Pietrangelo, it will be worth it. I'd say Coburn and the 2013 1st to start with. Really don't want to get rid of Laughton, but I'd throw him in to get either. The thing is though, considering how much of a log jam the defense is in Phoenix, it might be easier to pry OEL away over Pietrangelo. Phoenix has Rundblad, Gormley, Murphy, Stone Goncharov and Summers in the pipeline. Plus Yandle, Michalek, Klesla, Morris, and Schlemko as well. Coburn would probably be an upgrade over Morris/Klesla.

Either way, having either would be unreal. It might be a better idea to try to trade up to a d-man that could start right away from the 2013 draft (cost us less)?

If there's any chance, I'd offer a package of Coburn + Laughton and ask for Bogosian + the Jets 2nd rounder. Would like to keep our first rounder and restock the prospect pool.

Scheifele, Laughton and Burmistrov would be great foundation for the Jets.

I'm not completely sold on Bogosian, especially since we need a true PMD, and I don't think he will be that one. He may put up 30+ a season, but I don't think he's truly what we are looking for. Pietrangelo and OEL are basically the best, well-rounded, young D-men in the league.

Fair enough. He's probably more of a shutdown defender with offensive instincts.

I just have a hard time to believe, the Flyers get any of the two without giving up more than they're willing to.

Which is why I say it might be cheaper to try to go after a higher 1st rounder for 2013 for a D-man that can start for us right off the bat. Especially a PMD one. Maybe Pulock, Ristolainen, Morrissey or Nurse.

I'd love to see Nurse in the O&B.

Don't forget Nikita Zadorov from the London Knights, he'd be great too.
