I wish he would piss on Berube's wheaties. It might be the only way he's taken out of the lineup.
- PLindbergh31

Ehhh.. I doubt even that would do it...

This team is just not easy to like or get excited about. They are soft, frustrating to watch and lack an I.D.. Is it the team, the coach or both?

did Umberger piss in your Wheaties today?

Umburgler tried but bobbled the piss

It's the players. Bad mix.

The coach isn't great, but I don't think even a great coach could help this bunch much beyond what it is.

did you watch the coach play?

Only makes 700K. would you take a flyer on him? no pun intended
- nastyflyergirl

I'd waive Umberger right now for him, or send Vandevelde down, unless I don't have a contract slot to spare and I thought I was going to find an upgrade soon

coburn and couturier for hall?

It wouldn't be the back of the net but at least he'd be hitting something.

Tough to let a 6 mil per player sulk because he wants out. Bad for the team. He'd sulk until I'd be able to get a solid return, then, adios.

And then, if at all possible, it'd be to another lottery team - just because.

I wasn't saying for the Oilers to let him sulk. Was saying about the Flyers trying to trade for Martin "My GM didn't put me in the Olympics so I demand a trade" St. Louis Jr.

I'd do the same. But that's not the option. Every time a player gets waived, this board gets all excited and wants to grab him. That's not possible/wise. There's usually a reason why a player is exposed to waivers.

Speculative, but maybe it isn't the losing per se but coaches, management, ownership, the perceived direction of the franchise, etc.

edmonton doesn't know coburn doesn't play defense yet

The Flyers should move a defenseman Coburn (4.5m) while his value is still relatively high.

With emergence of servicable MDZ, Schultz and Cola (all three are upcoming UFA/RFA), and solid callups Alt, Hagg, Manning to fill out the D in case of injuries (Morin, Ghost are both IR). The D could look something like this through the rest of this season:

Grossmann - Streit
Schultz - MDZ
Schenn - Cola

Trading Coburn for a 1st line LW like Perron(3.8m) makes a lot of sense. We gain that 1st line LW (Perron scored 28 goals last season), and we shed .7m
- MrBigglesworth

There is no way in hell I would trade Coburn for Perron.

Omitted MacDonald.

It's not "time to fire the coach" yet.

I think some guys need to sit, first.

And when the coach refuses to sit them?

Umberger, cough cough, Umberger.....
