Braydon Coburn Clears Waivers

February 4, 2021 at 11:06 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 5 Comments

Feb 4: Coburn has cleared waivers. Almost immediately, the Senators moved him to the taxi squad and recalled Brannstrom.

Feb 3: The Ottawa Senators have placed Braydon Coburn on waivers today, according to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet. The veteran defenseman carries a cap hit of $1.7MM this season and was part of the cap-clearing package acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning this offseason.

Coburn, 35, is only a few months away from winning the Stanley Cup with the Lightning, though he certainly wasn’t a huge part of their postseason run. He suited up just three times during the playoffs and ended up traded along with Cedric Paquette and a draft pick as part of Tampa’s attempt to get cap compliant. In eight games this season with the Senators (which include seven losses), he has one point and has averaged just over 17 minutes a night.

In a corresponding move, it appears as though Erik Brannstrom may be getting his next NHL opportunity. The Senators have recalled the young defenseman to the taxi squad while sending Jonathan Aspirot back to the minor leagues. Should Coburn clear tomorrow, he could be swapped with Brannstrom and end up on the taxi squad as a depth piece.

That’s likely where he should be as the Senators try to develop their young core, but it certainly isn’t what he was hoping for. Coburn was a very well-liked teammate in Tampa Bay, even wearing an “A” as an alternate captain at times. Where his career goes from here isn’t clear, though he will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

      Matheson is on his way back and no cap space so unlikely he will end up in Pittsburgh. Also, need a GM that is allowed to make trades first.

    Rangers for sure. Adds size to their “D” After the Tony D mess and injuries he would add some insurance.

      @JD – You’re going to have pull out all of the stops — duffel bags of large-ish unmarked bills, with the old standby – “Excuse me (insert GM’s name here), I believe you dropped this. Oh, and those two guys over there will help you get back to the office safely. We call them defensive stallwarts.”
