And just like that, this team is stocked with draft picks in one of the deepest drafts in memory.

Obviously the Coburn lovers are not happy getting Gudas. Its easy to overlook Tampa because of the small market in Fla. They have some nice players that people dont get to see often. I used to live there and have plenty of friends still in the area. LOTS of people in Tampa are upset to see Gudas go.

I like Coburn. He was definitely underappreciated here. But I love the return we got for him.

I am a card-carrying Coburn lover, but yeah... but I'll take Gudas and the picks and not look back.

Coburn was absolutely under appreciated here but the return is pretty nuts. At least it comes with a first and a really tough looking beard.

If it was Coburn for Gudas, straight up. I would have been upset...but we got the 1st and 3rd pick and cut salary. Great for Philly.

I like Coburn and I'm not a huge fan of Gudas, but I have an open mind on him. Not going to immediately re-sign him to being a waste. At the very least, he's a cheaper option to replace Schenn or Grossmann, which is a definite positive.

And I'm happy with the trade overall. If Gudas can be as solid as you and Tomahawk think he can, it's an even bigger win.

Hell yeah, much rather have him next year than Luke Schenn at 4 times the cap hit.

Looks like people need to watch the guy more... really good, disruptive player w/ a nice point shot. Think he'll be pretty popular here.
- Tomahawk

Thats literally cut and pasted from his scouting report.

Assets: Is a great open-ice hitter and very good at disrupting offensive players' flow in the game. Will punish players with physicality. Also owns a heavy point shot.
Flaws: Doesn't have high-end puck skills, so he has a tendency to make mistakes with the disc on his blade. Also needs to harness his physicality and avoid bad penalties.
Career Potential: Aggressive defenseman with upside.

I'm guessing Luke Schenn is next to go. At least thats what Hextall is hoping. Having Gudas now leaves Schenn useless. Hell he's been almost useless with the current crop of D-men. How about that turnover against the Rangers. Good gawd!!

I loved Coburn and I'll continue to support him. He's the type of player you need to win. The return however looks as good as the deal that brought him here to begin with, if not better. It's right up there with both the Richards and Carter trade. In return we get a young, tough and right handed defenseman, with a first round pick and a third? That's impressive.
