idahophilly Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It's Eklund but it doesn't seem like speculation. It said he signs multi year contract (not that he might and none of that e4 kinda crap). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Awesome if true. I like Coburn and it's good to lock him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Trying to find another source. I hope it's between 3.5-4 mil/yr not anymore than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbulb Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Awesome if true. I like Coburn and it's good to lock him up.I like him too Brel... but then I freakin' hate him at times too! I just wish he'd settle in and stop with the split-personality ****. Sometimes he's got such a mean streak and can one-time the puck like a beast. Then for a few weeks, he'll be timid as a mouse and can't hit the net worth a damn.I just like to remind myself that we traded Zhitnik for him!! Silly Atlanta.

Lindbergh31 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 It would be nice if it's a 3 or 4 year deal at $3.5 million per season. Anything over $4 million per year is an overpayment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I can see $4.2 x 3 or 4 years - that would be a $1 mil bump, and imho he's well worth it.Eklund seems to be the only one "reporting" it right now, if you can call a tweet 'reporting.'

idahophilly Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, he changed the headline from "signed" to "signing" and said he got it from a 'source'... What a piece of work he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There was some buzz circulating back in June that he signed a contract extension. Then it quickly disapeared....Odd, but by the end of the season, I think he will sign an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 You mean like 10 years, $5.5 million a year, NMC? I'd count on it, except Eklund reported there was a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 http://www.csnphilly.com/blog/flyers-talk/post/Coburn-agrees-to-4-year-extension-with-F?blockID=590834&feedID=704TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- The Flyers will have Brayden Coburn back on the blue line for another four years.The 26-year-old defenseman has agreed to 4-year, $18 million contract extension, a league source told CSNPhilly.com.His cap hit is $4.5 million – a very nice bump from his current two-year contract extension that was paying him $3.2 million.Coburn has been a virtual constant on the back end with partner Kimmo Timonen since the second half of the 2007-08 season.Once a player who had pretty good offensive numbers, Coburn’s role has changed in recent year’s to that of a shutdown defenseman. Viewed from that perspective, he likely would have gotten similar money as an unrestricted free agent next July had he waited.(More coming...)Overpay buy 500k imo. 1.3 mil raise? He's done nothing to warrant that much, should've been 4 mil/year. Oh well hope it comes without a NTC/NMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it would have been nice at $4 million but unfortunately that seems to be the going rate for defensemen nowadays. Now it will be interesting to see what Holmgren does with Carle.

canoli Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Good deal - $4.5 x 4 years = $18 mil. He was due for a healthy salary bump; he's been a bargain ever since he got to Philly.Now he's being paid what he should be paid. God I hope it doesn't funk-up his game...

flyerrod Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Here's to hoping he does not develop Carter syndrome.........Good point that he has been a bargain from the time we got him and then he signed a 2 year deal for good value. If he continues to perform like he has been, this will be a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 God I hope it doesn't funk-up his game...Me too, maybe he was saving himself from injury before getting paid market value? Sounds familiar doesn't it? I do hope he will be playing more physical with a meaner attitude. I read somewhere that someone called him "Big Bird" lmao.
