If this draft is as deep as they say, and only has 4-5 top players, I don't see the need to move up 4 spots.
- jmatchett383

I agree. Trading Coburn just to move up 4 spots is absurd imo

People on here are far under valuing Coburn and have for a while. He is a very solid defenseman. Bob McKenzie had him on team Canada for Sochi last summer. I do think #5 is an overpayment by Carolina, but hey

We did get 8 and jake for Carter and defensemen have more value then forwards

Thanks, as of today, I've lost 33lbs and 5 inches off my waist. If I can drop another 20lbs and lose 3 more inches, I will be where I was at age 25!!

But....he needs to be a 23 year old 80 point producer....

COME ON HOMER WHAT ARE YOU DOING
- Giroux_Is_God

If he's going to be a 40-60 pt scorer he better be a whole lot better defensively.

I think it's bigger than that. I feel 2 big trades then maybe 2 under the radar FA's

No, just coburn.

wow. what is homer waiting for then lol.

Sensational. Just don't try to go drinking like you're 25

- moylander

It's probably not just homer who is waiting

I like Coburn a lot, but if Carolina is willing to move the 5th pick in a draft with at least 5 special players available straight up for Coburn, that's a deal you have to make.

That would be fatal!!

It was the "good flashes..better if moved" that caught my attention. The "flashes" I can attribute to a youngster finding his way. The needing to be "moved" frighted me. Why would you need to be moved to play in the NHL?

Different team have different systems, a player might work better with a defensive first system or vice versa (offensive first). Or chemistry with team mates/coach. I'm sure there's a lot of reasons why a move can be good for a player. And playing on the Oilers, that keeps losing and missing playoffs, isn't very good in the long run for young players development and confidence.

If Braydon Coburn straight up gets the Flyers 7 and a fourth, Paul Holmgren has served the Flyers well.

No way coburn alone gets the 7th overall and a 4th

This.

Again, Edmonton's depth...it's not great, and they were really young, had injuries.

It's entirely possible that a winger who struggles there might be a better fit here. I tend to believe that would actually be the case, in this particular case.

Edm doesn't have a 4th this year...

Makes good sense.

I still don't want Paajarvi

It doesn't have to be this years

Exactly.

No, just coburn.

Doesn't Coburn have a limited no-trade clause in his contract?

wow

who reported this rumors?
Oilers dont even have a 4th round pick and the difference between 5-7th is around a 2nd
