still a decent draft pick and the Flyers need a 2nd

~35th overall in the 2015 draft would be a great return for LSchenn or Grossmann.

Saw the rumors concerning B Schenn, B Coburn for possibly Eberle and Yak,

Consider the source of those rumors, then ignore them.

Saw the rumors concerning B Schenn, B Coburn for possibly Eberle and Yak, I don't think that is a good deal for the Flyers unless we get a pick as well...Coburn is a young D man with proven value and Schenn has proven to be at least a top 6 forward at a much better price than Eberle's 6m a year...maybe it is me, but I just can't see the Flyers doing this deal...
- JW98FlyerFan

The way Schenn is playing right now I wouldnt even think about moving him. I would however trade Coburn and a pick if needed for Eberle. Look to the future guys!!! Coburn is not in it!

I don't think I'd give a pick. And I would consider Coburn part of the future.

I am sure these two teams are talking ( it seems forever) as they both need to shake things up. I wouldn't be suprised to see a couple player going each way... just don't have a clue which ones!

I feel like that same deal has been posted here, possibly by someone who was posting drunk.

I agree Coburn is our best trade chip. But the return has to be good. No more JVR for Luke Schenn type deals.

Some would disagree.

I would take ANY draft pick for Luke Schenn.

And I suspect so would Ron Hextall.

No one is giving up an asset for Luke Schenn and if they do, it's a win for us.

Eberle is a stud. He needs to get out of EDM.

He isnt getting any younger and his contract will be up soon. This team will not contend for at least another 3-4 years. Coburn would be best served as a trade chip for building the future. Not keeping him and having another #4 defensemen at the age of 34-35 by the time we are ready to make a serious run.

Holmgren got robbed blind on that JVR deal.

I think one of the reasons they are using 7 Dman is simply because they can't have Luke sitting as a healthy scratch if they want ANY value via trade.
I would try to make him as part a package in whatever deal they do

Absolutely.. I thought that the day the deal was made. I still have nightmares

I probably would too since it'll be 31-35 overall.

No one watching this team regularly would tell you that Luke Schenn belongs in this top 6 rotation. Nick Schultz is giving them better minutes and he was signed, specifically, to be the #7 guy in the press box.

I actually didnt mind the deal when it was made. I thought Schenn could become a good shutdown defender. He never improved..... He has his moments but his foot speed is his biggest problem IMO.

Yes, he is at that point where youthful inconstancy is no longer an excuse. If we had playoff Schenn all the time I would not think this way.

Schultz has been one of their top 3 Dman all year IMO.
Schenn has been streaky but has been pretty consistent on PK

I would trade Umberger straight up for this guy!

What's his cap hit?

Hes good at PK because he actually isnt a bad defender. He just lacks speed and he is mostly just playing his part of the box on the PK. It allows him to use all of his best tools.
