Yes the Guy who has played 4-5 games this season can't make Philly good. It is Coburn's fault only one line is scoring at the moment and it is his fault the othe rDMen make mistakes.... FYI Schenn is on pace for 60+points right now.

So whats coburn excuse the last 5 years? you are trading him cause he isn't good philly needs D yet the rumor is for a winger. And i did say yet with schenn.
How does schenn make the oilers any better in the long run. They have a future second line center in drisalte and maybe a crack at mcdavid the whole thing is just bad.

If they trade Eberle to the Flyers then that guarantees the Flyers finish higher in the standings
- oilstone

Well if its Couturier or B.Schenn going the other way, it'd definitely get the Flyers higher in the draft standings.

I disagree I think Schenn has definitely shown some talent.

The oilers would be lucky To get a Kid like schenn even if it is for a guy that has a little better scoring touch.

They have enough young kids that have that scoring Touch. They need a good 2 way forward like schenn

- Shenanigans20


This is dumb trade in my opinion. They need top dman and coburn isnt it. If they Get Schenn they dont need drasaitl. Which they would then trade him for top dman.

I think i would go after a veteran #2c for alot cheaper price. Let Drasaitl grow. Then then trade eberle or yak for top dman.

Schenn is a left winger now, actually. Just sayin.

Also, Coburn is actually a very good 3/4 defenseman, but he's being asked to play as a #1 on a bad team, and it's been that way since Pronger went down.

Yak wont fetch more than a 2nd until he proves he can score 30+ goals

And he would be a number 1 on the oilers to. Oiler have a ton of 3/4 already. And McT said he wants a center so take it for what its worth but ya maybe next yeat he moves to lw on the oilers. But coburn IMO makes little difference in the oiler linup.

Schenn could potentially play center, as he did for his first 2 years. But he's played LW all year, so, well, whatever.

Yes, Coburn would be the de facto top pair defender on Edmonton as well, and he just isn't a #1 guy. Maybe if you paired him with J Schultz you'd get better results, as he's not bad physically, but his offensive game left him around 2010.

Maybe but just seems like a lot of moving parts for something that will be the same result. IMO they do no need a center like mentioned before they will have one next year and getting one now wont turn there season around to be a playoff team that ship sailed in the summer so just tank and make moves this summer.

His excuse for What? He is one player. He is not an Elite Defenceman by any means but to say he's crap because he isn't a Pronger, Doughty or Weber is Ridiculous. He a #2-3 Dman.

Eberle for Coburn and a 3rd if it happens. It'd be worth it.

Whats wrong with having 3 good centers? What happens if RNH or Draisatl (who might not even develop into that stud 2C) get injured for an extended period of time?

Well, if they acquired Schenn as their 2C, then when Draisaitl comes up, you're not immediately counting on a rookie to be a top-6 player. You work him in as maybe your 3rd line center, let him get some 2nd unit PP time, and climb the ladder. Then, if he's producing, you can bump him to 2C and either move Schenn to wing or 3C.

Myers for their lottery pick straight up is maybe fair...but I dont think any team would trade more than a pair of 2nds for myers.

Ya because you need to score 30 goals in the league before you're worth more than a second rounder??? What a stupid comment.
