Brayden Coburn is 4/5/6 (along with Stustr and Carle) on Tampa team that dresses 7 D-men on a regular basis. He is currently a 4.5 M cap hit.
Do you think he would bring a 3rd round pick at the trade deadline?
He would be used as a comparable for Russell getting a big UFA payoff.
Hamilton should easily be at least a #3. But I would like to see him make it happen. Can he do it without Russell? or Wideman? When he is paired with Engelland they look like a 5/6 pairing.
