Coburn will now face the opponents’ top lines each night while at the same time be expected to step up offensively with Carle in Tampa Bay. Coburn had nine goals and 36 points in his first full season as a Flyer in 2007-08, but he hasn’t really come close to that since – especially in the last three seasons. Philly didn’t need Coburn to do much on the offensive end when Pronger and Carle were on the team, but it needs him now.
