So PHI doesn't do it and EDM doens't do it. Why not?
- Lahey


Philly lacks depth on the blueline and that price is too steep to pay for Cockburn.

Yeah makes sense. I guess it depends on the market for him.
- Oilfan19

There is going to be a market for him. Especially if Horton and Clarkson stay where they are. Even not, Bickell is the next tier down from them. Want to lock into 5mil+ over 5+ years with guys with major question marks or take Bickell at 3.5ish over 3-4?

Yes and no. They lack Pronger, but have good depth. Coburn makes a lot of money as well which is part of the issue.

If you guys are serious about getting another goalie I would think something could get worked out with lak regarding bernier. Thoughts?
- Just5

I think we're good for now as far as goalies go. Although I do want Raata to come here. It'd be nice if he could let someone know. Considering he apparently made up his mind like 7 hours ago but didn't tell anyone anything or get back to either us or the jets.

We have grossman and schenn as defensive guys. In my opinion we need to move one of the 3 and coburns cap hit is the largest
- Just5

I'd be ready to trade a couple of our prospects to you guys for Talbot. And by prospects, I mean like a few dmen and you can take Hemsky with you too if you like haha. Even though you guys don't have 5M in cap space to pay him. We've been paying him that much so he could pay for his Hello Kitty band aids everytime he got a boo boo.

After watching the combine clips on TSN:

- Nischuskin looks to have a near, if not ready, NHL body
- Monahan's upper body is developed well. I've read he is strong on his skates, legs aren't overly big although not everyone is Crosby

I wonder if we are still going after Talbot. Not sure why he was made available, but he seems like a perfect fit for us.
- Lahey


Maxim Talbot is not available and never has been

If we trade Coburn, there's a plan to replace him somewhere with a top pairing guy.

He's a top pairing guy here, although he's really more like an anchor for the second pair. He's a workhorse and is incredibly under appreciated.
