Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: Silly Season Quick Hits

So....we're trading for Shea Weber?

But seriously, thank you, Bill. The rampant speculation and constant drilling of Coburn on here gets very old, very quickly..as I'm sure my sarcasm does (my apologies).

I heard that he was going to get traded to philly, but it turns out he was too lazy to pack up and move.

They told him the airport was located in the defensive end and he got lost on the way there.

Bill,

Would B. Schenn plus our number 1 land Roman Josi from the Preds?

I love Coburn, but I think he is going to be the target for most teams also looking for D, ala Edmonton and the like.

My first objective is trading Vinny though. I feel bad for him, but he was never going to a be a good fit here long-term anyhow, too many centers already. Maybe package him, Laughton, the 17th, and maybe Grossmann for the 1st and minor assets in return? lol.

Bill "The Voice Of Reason" Meltzer, thanks again for being logical and a great read!

I would think so!? That's A LOT for a guy who has pending concussion issues...

Great player, but I don't trust his health long-term to give up on Schenn and a first.

I was unaware of a chronic concussion issue. He played in 72 games last year and all 48 the year before.

This and JMatchett's were funny. Sorry for not supplying the laugh it deserved until now.
