Meh. Wishfull thinking.
They don't have a 3rd and /or 4th line center who can win a defensive zone draw if his life was depending on it and right now it doesn't look like Couts is making any progress in this department.
They are also lacking a scoring winger with a shoot first approach and a solid backup goalie.
Anyone think Breire to the Pens for one of their D prospects would work?
What coburn is .... A reliable top 5 mobile big defense man that is physically capable of handling any player. and playing upwards of 25 minutes plus.
What coburn isn't.... a number 1 dman that can play on the pp and score 30-40 pts a season.
For 4.5 million i cant find too many guys that can do what coburn does. If you look at him in the true sense of being a nubmer 1 he isnt. But he is still a valuable player.
Getting rid of him would be silly.
I personally promise that if this happened Briere would score 30 goals in any Flyers / Penguins playoff series.

Since it's the Penguins I'd want Pouliot + 1st.

Pouliot over Morrow? Morrow is basically ready.
