Hmm interesting.

I don't hate Coghlan as an option, but I'm so sick of crossing our fingers on bargain price guys, whether it's trades, free agents or coaches. Team can't be sold fast enough

Coghlan could probably be acquired for like a 6th round pick.

No need to give up a guy like Sokolov.

It would take more than that, you are trying to strip a contending team of part of its depth. You're going to have to pay more than the players value, although that would be around his ideal value. There's no reason for Carolina to give up Coghlan when he is team controlled.
