Don't get me wrong, Coburn makes them better but that cost was insane and he still has a $4.5 million cap hit next year which only ranks 4th on the team. They now have almost $27 million committed to their top 6 defensemen.

Oh, yeah, I think they gave up too much. No disagreement there.

Coburn is slow.

Disagree, he's a good skater. Better laterally maybe, but he's mobile for his size, in my opinion.

Always thought of coburn as a great guy to pair with a high end dman on the 1st or with another similar calibre player on the second. Hes a top 4 guy.

I hope I'm proven wrong; I like the Lightning, but it just seems like the defense collection is a bunch of overpaid, underperforming folks (and then Hedman).

The Michalek trade is Michalek + a conditional 3rd round pick for Maxim Letunov, btw.

Kraftster · Post by **Kraftster** » Mon Mar 02, 2015 12:20 pm

I agree with both of the last two posts (Edit: ID40 and mikey above). I think Coburn is a similar player to the guy that Tampa originally brought in to pair with Hedman--Matthias Ohlund.

They also have crazy inexpensive forward depth so i think they'll be ok. Ohlund and coburn are both expired after next year and who knows what is going on with ohlund anyway.

Maloney held out for and got his man- Letunov. He's had a nice deadline. Now give us Doan damn it.

If they win the lottery, watch out. Will be a force in the west in 3 years.

He should send him to us as a favor to Doan for a conditional 2016 1st and conditional 2015 2nd based on solely winning the cup for the 1st and making the conference finals for the 2nd

Exactly right.

Saw Letunov play live one time for Youngstown. His offensive and puck skills are awesome, but his frame is so slight. Something like 6'2" 160lbs. Hopefully he can add at least 25 pounds so he doesn't get broken in half. Committed to BU.

Came to say the same thing, minus seeing him live. Just video. Filthy mitts.

Kept thinking Semin, minus the best wrister in the game.

Never thought Maloney had it in him.

Phaneuf probably isn't getting traded now.

See what happens when I go get a shower.

Pierre LeBrun @Real_ESPNLeBrun
Tyler Kennedy traded to the New York Islanders for a conditional pick
