Florida Panthers: Exploring the Possibility of Signing FA Braydon Coburn

Braydon Coburn, the former Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman, would essentially make perfect sense as an inexpensive, short-term bottom-pairing target.

The 34-year-old native of Canada was previously selected by the Atlanta Thrashers with the 8th overall pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.

The veteran d-man had a relatively short career with Atlanta, lasting only 49 NHL games before the Philadelphia Flyers acquired him during the 2006-07 NHL season.

To say the least, Braydon Coburn had a marvelous nine-year tenure as a member of the Philadelphia Flyers.

Coburn established himself as a physical, yet dependable third pairing defenseman.
