Kulikov or Leddy would be replacing Coburn.

Timonen-Schenn
Kulikov/Leddy-Grossmann
Whitney-Meszy

- jak521


Just sign 2 of these ufas to 2 year deals. Whitney and ference for example. Coburn replaced and draft picks gained

He will still have another year in the OHL before he can go to the AHL so 1 year.

I'm going to go conservative here (a stretch, I know) and say he'll be NHL-ready in four. So, sometime in 2016-17.

How much are you willing to pay either of those two in Free Agency? And honestly, if that's what you're signing to bolster the back end. You're in trouble.

If you're adding Whitney, it'd be to replace Meszaros, not Coburn.

So, either a 30 year-old or a 34 year-old for Coburn, who is 28 and more mobile than both.

Talk about grass being greener on the other side...

He certainly has the "fragile" characteristic nailed down.

But were getting a first round pick that may or may not pan out. And may take a number of years to contribute.

We're in trouble anyway. Might as well be in trouble with picks. Sign them for market value

Why are they in trouble anyway? What is market value in your opinion?

Have this feeling the Flyers aren't going to make a trade. Going with what they have until the offseason.

Very possible. Although I'm thinking something minor. But you never know. We may be surprised.

Oh, man... This is like dealing with Monty Hall...

Decisions... Decisions...

I'll take what we have rather than chance getting a Zonk.

The next few games will determine that. If they manage to go 3-1 heading up to the TDL, they won't do anything to hurt chances.

Meh. Put a better set of forwards in front of this team AND give the whole team a better system in which to operate and he doesn't have to hook, hold, slash, trip, etc. as much.

They will certainly not interfere with the opposition who will be too far away to take a minor penalty on.

It is funnier that dopes believe players will fake injuries.

Not happening...Briere won't be healthy enough. I hope it does but I'm not confident.
