Dreger was on Ottawa sports radio an hour ago, was asked about general trade rumours at the draft. He mentioned a few names, then did mention Edmonton and Carolina have interest in Coburn, and he is apparently available.

Coburn and 11th for Smid and 7th?

MacKinnon, Jones, Drouin, Barkov are the for sure top 4. Lindholm, Nichushkin, Monahan are the 5-7 rated prospects according to Bobby Mac. Nurse would possibly be on the board at 7 as well.

Timonen-Schenn
Grossmann-Streit
Smid-Gus

And we grab one of the above 5-8 prospects? Sign me up.

Me, too -- and I'm as big a fan of Braydon Coburn as there is. I think he's played hard, been a good soldier, and I've enjoyed watching him play.

But sometimes, you have to give to get. If those guys are rated high enough at 7, then do it and make the team better.

Rumors are rumors. I doubt it comes that easy, but I appreciate what Coburn brings to the team when asked to be the defensive guy in the pairing.

Of course it would. TSN has become a joke. A Canadian team has to be mentioned in everything.

Dreger goes on to list Carolina is a possible partner as well.

- flyer_nutter


Its starting to look like my earlier prediciton might be right. Its completely possible Coburn plus 11th to Edmonton for 7th plus prospect, then Meszaros plus 7th to Carolina for 5th. Then they will trade Cooter for a defenseman.

I'm sayin this one more time.

Trading your best defensive forward for a defenseman is illogical, contradictory, and pointless. I'd rather see Bschenn + go for a defenseman than Cooter.
