hey bill,

do you know anything about oscar klefbom? would edmonton be at all open to including him in a deal like this? (in your opinion of course) do you even think he's a player the flyers should be interested in? you're usually the ultimate source for all things swedish hockey

Do you like that deal?
22 yo skilled winger with size and the #7 for Coburn and the #11?

Who will take Coburn's minutes on D?
- Marc D

That's not a dream. The word you're looking for is "delusion."

Here comes Parjarvi
Then Nurse at #7

the master of magnetism says Coburn and 11th for Paajarvi and 7th is close.

I like 11 and Coburn for 7 and MPS.

Again, I'm a fan of Braydon Coburn. I like his skillset, and I believe he's a solid, legitimate Top 4 defenseman.

But he's the kind of Top 4 who you can replace: the defensive kind. It doesn't mean he's soft or a liability. It means that if you're looking to replace a Top 4, you can do that easier with Braydon Coburn.

At some point, you have to look at what's coming back. MPS has size, can skate really well. He's still developing, but he's played enough games where you have a feel for what he might be -- he's not quite as advanced as Voracek and Simmonds were, where you had a pretty good idea that both of those guys were capable of it.

But I think the No. 7 pick gives us more options. Braydon Coburn, as I said, is a good soldier. But he had reached his ceiling. We need a little more high-end talent to get us where we all want to go.

As Val Kilmer so famously said in "Heat": "The bank is worth the risk."

Agreed, 6'5 defenseman who skate well and can play in your top 4 don't grow on trees, a lot of fans seem to really be undervaluing Coburn.

He has regressed though...when he first got here he looked like he could develop into a top 4, two-way guy who could play on the PP and put up 30-40 pts with solid defensive play...since then his offensive game has fizzled out and in his most recent campaign his defensive game took some steps back...he's in his prime now, and should be playing better than ever...why is his development taking a backwards path?

NHL - Flyers and Oilers closing in on a deal, source says they Flyers want to swap 11th for 7th and Paajarvi for Coburn.

Bad idea. Bad bad bad idea.

Think Markus Naslund pre-Vancouver.
- bmeltzer

Thing that concerns me about Pääjärvi is that, unlike Naslund, he's never dominated at any senior/pro level.

And he's got a casual JvR-esque attitude... not enough "hates-to-lose" and general competitiveness.

I'm sorry, but all we talk about on this site is how difficult top 4 defenseman are to acquire. We actually have one that we are looking to trade and we aren't getting a top return at all. We should be getting a hell of a lot more back then PMS and the 7th. I dislike that deal. I'd rather:

To Blues:
Couterier
Coburn
Cousins
2013 1st Rd Pick
2014 or 2015 2nd Rd Pick

To Flyers:
Pietrangelo
Halak
