A better passer? Yea for the other team. Coburn has assisted on more goals AGAINST his team than he has for his own.

THe Flyers keep benching Mez and playing Coburn on the top pairing even though Mez is better?

Preventing the opposition from scoring points, also known as goals
Playing at a high level for higher amounts of time per game
Moving the puck from within the defensive zone
Killing penalties
Having a semblasnce of a physical game

A Physical game?

I don't believe Buffalo AND the Isles got stuck with Moulson and Vanek

One of them maybe, but not both
- AllInForFlyers

They need them for their late-season playoff pushes.

Moulson & McCormack to the Wild for Torrey Mitchell and undisclosed picks

Moulson and McCormick to MIN

I'll be there. Does Pitt have a 1st?

Source: Sabres send Matt Moulson and Cody McCormick to Minnesota for undisclosed picks and Torrey Mitchell.

Yeah; that sounds about right

Didn't think they'd get stuck with a player like Moulson, with where they are

First off, dude settle down. Why are you so pissy and offensive all the time? You've posted here a handful of times in the last few days and have just been caustic to others.

Secondly, I'm with you on the Kesler front. I'm an advocate of keeping all of our young core guys, and not blowing up the team. I think things are looking WAY UP for these guys provided they keep the bulk of the team together.

Thirdly, I don't think good teams deal away extra depth guys. In fact, I think they usually keep them for...well- depth. That being said, in the Flyers case, a dman needed to be dealt. I had said I'd rather keep Mez for some offensive pop from the back end, and thought he was playing very well over the last 6 weeks, but can 110% understand that there was an odd man out on D, and it was either Grossmann or Mez. Unfortunately, I'd rather have seen Grossmann go, but hey- I'm not Homer.

Calm down there Chief.

But dude, Mez scores more goals...I mean, he abandons all defensive responsibilities to do so, but...goals???

Alrighty, so the trades we have during this season, and Holmgren's work:

Talbot for Downie
Andrew Macdonald for a 2nd and 3rd rounder
Meszaros for a 3rd round pick

Moulson & McCormack to the Wild for Torrey Mitchell and undisclosed picks
- Jsaquella

EK had said it was Moulson for a 2nd and a 3rd?

Did the best they could I guess.

- Daveflyers36

Coburn's just better...
Mez got a 3rd rounder. Edmonton offered 3 2nd rounders at the draft for Coby.

Calm down there Chief.

EDIT: Also, way to ignore and dodge all my points. Real predictable, honestly

Vanek traded.

#Isles have traded Thomas Vanek, source says. Waiting to hear where and what's coming back.

Vanek traded apparently, per the guys on TSN

Yup. Everyone here thinks Mez is better than Coburn except me.
- PhillySportsGuy

He isn't.
Coburn is the superior defensemen.

Kesler will be staying in Vancouver

Mez to Boston for a 3rd

HOOOOMMMMERRRRRRR

Vanek has been traded!! No team mentioned yet. Hold your breath.

Vanek traded.
- JAKEw1234

I think...that's Anaheim

Avs get G Rito Berra from Flames for a pick per Adrian Dater

He isn't.
Coburn is the superior defensemen.

We all know this except for one person here.
