I'd deal Coburn but for the right return, if Edmonton wants him I make them overpay since we really don't have to move him.

Smart decision. Flyers hold the cards here with him.

if the flyers move up to seven, who do you think homer's looking at? lindholm? hoping nichushkin slides?

Well that's what I'd do, Homer may use a different mindset.

That's how I feel. I think Edmonton has the mis-conception that all young players in their system are going to be great.

we need a top end D man and goalie, Edm has lots of top 6 forwards.

Don't see the teams as good trading partners.

Maybe its for #7, who knows?

He still needs a contract, with pretty much no cap space while making sure they can find some to re-sign Giroux, Couturier, & B Schenn, I might pass.

To paraphrase Holmgren from his media sessions on Tuesday, “There’s going to be lots of funny stuff happening in the next [seven] days.”

I'd ask them to include #7, a 2nd rounder, & Jeff Petry for Couburn and #72 (just an idea that could be tweaked)

I like him & what I did get to see of him is a small sample size but I feel he'll be more of what we have in a physical hard hitting d-man with limited offensive upside.

Nothing wrong with it just something we always seem to have plenty of right now.

I can't imagine Edmonton would make that deal, but if they would, I would take it in a heartbeat.

I can't really either but I'd try to see if they'd take it. I'd rather hang on to Coburn so to move him I would want to make the other team pay for it.
