[RUMOR] Flyers defensemen could be on move

**Zach Hopkins** · March 1, 2015, 5:07 PM

Per multiple sources including CSN Philly's Tim Panaccio and TSN's Darren Dreger, teams are inquiring about Philadelphia's defensive unit with Braydon Coburn the most likely target.

Alone, Coburn could net a fairly high pick in this market. The Flyers preference would be to package with a dead-weight salary such as Vincent Lecavalier.

Calgary could be a destination.

theyre likely better off dumping coburn for whatever they can and keeping lecavalier as expensive filler until a horton 2.0 situation comes up haha

They may need to; I can't see a team wanting Coburn enough to take Vinny's salary

If Lecavalier has to be in the deal in order to get Coburn, I would simply turn to another team to go find a dman.

My feeling as well. Unless somebody is desperate, I'd bet Lecavalier is still a Flyer tomorrow afternoon.

Coburns been rumored to go to Edmonton for so long now, I hope he gets traded to anywhere but Edmonton to end the stupid rumors.

I think Coburn will definitely go to a Western Canadian team. Whether it's Calgary or Edmonton remains to be seen. The Edmonton-Philly front has been quiet of late (as in last few days), so there could be something brewing.

Schenn brothers and Vinnie for Eberle

I think any deal involving someone willing to take Lecavalier needs to be take seriously. If this was the summer, I'd say no way (B Schenn). I think Flyers are less protective of him now so that proposal has traction for sure.
