I'd eat 1mill from each, no more. That would be 7 mill coming back our way and 6 mill exiting (Vinny 4.5 + Grossman 3.5=8-2mill=6).

That extra mill we would be taking back alone would be a big deal.

His proposed deal was Amac+VL for Campbell.

Thanks
How did I forget him?

Muzzin took a huge step up this post season.
I love that D, even more then StLouis which is really good too.

- Marc D


I love both. I don't need to pick favorites

They were so bad together for a long stretch. They looked a lot better by the end of the season. I still think the lack of mobility hurts them. I've always preferred Streit with Amac.

I would like to keep Coburn past 2 years.

- PhillySportsGuy

I think that was part of the weird trade Coburn stuff the past few blogs.
There seems to be an assumption that they won't be able to afford to re sign him when his contract is next up and they have to trade him now to cash in in his value.
Don't really get this myself.
If they want him going forward Hextall and Coburn will work out a fair deal.

I know, I don't quite get it either... Especially when he's better than Campbell defensively.

I personallly wouldn't retain 3 mill in salaries to dump 2 players AND take on a 7 million dollar guy.

I think Streit looked good from mid-November onward. He just started slow, that's all.
- Flyers_V88

He was really pretty good.
Except for his spin-o-Rama move at the blue line.
I hated that.

Yeah. I think most people understand the situation with Coburn. There are a select few who believe he's nothing more than a #4 and easily replaceable.

Most of us recognize his importance to this current team. He's signed to a very team friendly deal as well. Our top pairing is our least expensive pairing.

Campbell's deal is up in 2 years. Amac and VL are signed for 5 and 4 more years

Really? You think Brian Campbell is a better defensive player than AMac? Really....? Campbell skates better, passes better, has more offensive upside, but no way in hell is he better defensively.

I loved it when it worked lol. We haven't had a D that can play half-ice/in-zone like Streit in forever.

I think they're about equal. No idea where this idea that AMac is some defensive stalwart came from... he is brutal in a shutdown role, just ask the Rangers' forwards.

*If* he does come here, you'll get to see how brutal Campbell is on a nightly basis.
