Default Jackets and Flyers Trade

The Jackets and the Flyers swapped d-men and prospects.

To Columbus Blue Jackets

Kris Letang
John Negrin

To Philadelphia Flyers

Braydon Coburn
Ryan Carter

I did not want to get rid of Coburn as he was playing well but we get Letang back who is just as good plus we get a very good prospect in Negrin. We had to give up Carter who will be a decent player as well but we could part with him.

Thanks Joe for the quick talk and deal

Basically Letang and Coburn are relatively similar. One lil younger, one bigger. But Coburn has a top 4 rating and should help us immediately wheres Letang is another year away.

Giving up Negrin sucks as he was my only flamer in my organization. But Carter is playing well for Ducks in the NHL and should be even better next year. Also this helps us create our $hit-disturbing line with Carter-Ott-Crombeen.

Thanks for a quick deal.

Not a good deal for the Jackets. Coburn is established as a bonefied Top 4 d-man, and while Letang is a very good player, he's a level or two below Coburn at this point.

If the deal were Letang + Negrin for only Coburn, it might be a bit closer but the Flyers definitely win this deal.
