Leaf Rumours

[LeafGm]

Get Horton. Get Horton. Get Horton.

He'd be a coup, but I can't think of what we'd give up to get him. Especially considering he's in the midst of a "break-out" year.

Schenn.

 

[drewser]

Kyper was just speculating that Burke might still take an acceptable trade offer and present it to Kaberle

 

[MindzEye]

That's all the Kaberle talk has ever been is speculation. It was worthless crap then, and it's worthless crap now.

I expect Kaberle to be signed to an extension in June.

 

[Volcanologist]

That'd be fine by me. Unless we really get an amazing young player, it's hard to envision actually improving the team by trading Kaberle.

Leafs have plenty of action on Alexei Ponikarovsky, likely to land a good prospect or an active player, not 1st rounder, in return.

DarrenDreger Leafs are working on a trade involving Ponikarovsky. Not done yet, but getting closer.

 

[mbow30]

yeah, groundbreaking insight from mr. dreger.

they have already announced that he won't be in tonight's lineup. doesn't take much mental fortitude to put those pieces together.

And the trade with boston before the draft was what?

Bet you 20 that Kaberle is gone before next season.

 

[leafman101]

I'm glad they will turn Poni into a prospect and not just picks.

Makes up for Antro and the shitty deadline market last year.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Poor Poni.

I feel bad about this one. I've liked him since day one, always was a big fan of his game, he developed just as I hoped, and it's sad that he's leaving now. I hope we can re-sign him in the offseason.

 

[MindzEye]

And the trade with boston before the draft was what?

Miscommunication....Burke thought Chia was offering Kessel & 1st, Chia though Burke was offering Kaberle & a 1st. The only reason that ever got off the ground.

Bet you 20 that Kaberle is gone before next season.

You're on, throw it in your sig

 

[Volcanologist]

McKenzie says Tangradi + pick offered for Poni.

 

[Fitzgerald#11]

McKenzie: Correcting something I put out on That's Hockey: Pittsburgh not trading Tangradi as part of any Ponikarovsky package.

 

[BeLeafer]

Give us draft picks, baby!

 

[Montana]

Sh*t, I'd have loved Tangradi + a 2nd.

 

[MindzEye]

Prospects...I want prospects.

**** picks

 

[leafman101]

Pitt has some other decent options. Caputi could be a guy Burke would like. Same with Ben Hanowski who I believe is the all time leading Minnesota HS scorer. Scored 57 goals and 110 points in 25 games last year.

 

[Montana]

Leafs GM Brian Burke talking about trade deadline day: "Rational long-term planning is not the card you need to play on deadline day."

Absolutely nothing to the Huet to Toronto silliness

-Kevin Allen

 

[Fitzgerald#11]

Lots of spec Ponikarovsky to Pitt is done but we're told not quite yet. Sure looks like Poni to Pitt for a prospect.

Won't surprise me if the prospect is Luca Caputi, but let's see on that. Just spec for now.
