I would never trade Coburn for Zach Bogosian in a million years but would any of you consider Coburn for Erik Johnson if it were possible?

I love Coburn, but I'd trade him straight up for either of those guys.

Me too.

I also think Coburn is one of the most underrated defensemen in the league. He flies under the radar. Does he make mistakes? Absolutely. But he sees a healthy dose of top lines. It's too bad that eye injury in the 2008 playoffs messed him up, it seemed like his ceiling was the heavens.

I think Coburn's main issue is confidence. He can fly, he may be the best skater on the team. He is big. He can play mean when he wants to. He can shoot. He can pass. He can be physical. He CAN be all of these things...........he just needs to be them all at once...and consistently, and he CAN be an elite defenseman.....


I think someone needs to tell him, tis is what you can be...go out and do it.

Yeah but a player who could be had right now who's legit? A number defenseman should cost a lot more then what it would take to get Ryan. I don't see a win/win unless we simply wait for Morin or Sanheim to develop.

I have no interest in trading Simmonds. He's signed long term to a sweet deal.

What good is spending assets and cap space on Ryan when you have a lot of decent goal scorers and fail to address the defense?

Just because the cap space is available, doesn't mean they have to run out and use it.

I have no interest in trading Simmonds either, unless they get a legit top pair defenseman out of the deal.
