Leaf Rumours

Burke probably loves Komi's team mentality as much as I do. He's the type of player that he wants all his guys to be regardless of talent. I don't see him sending him along already. That's just me though.
 
Still no news on Kabs, eh? I must admit I'm a bit surprised - it seems hard to believe that Burke would go through all of this, and not move him in the end. I still think he'll be traded on Sunday, but it's looking much more like a 50/50 chance at this point.

Would really love to hear the details of a few of the offers out there.

It's from Garrioch, but:

- The San Jose Sharks are looking for help. But Kaberle, 32, who carries a $4.25-million hit, wants to stay in the East. That hasn't stopped talk of Sharks GM Doug Wilson offering prospect D Derek Joslin and a first-round pick. Bieksa and his $3.75-million hit might make more sense. Not sure what to make of whispers that San Jose is willing to trade LW Jamie McGinn or C Logan Couture for Bieksa, but the talk is out there.

I would be surprised if they hadn't offered up Ryan Clowe and a 1st. As for that suggestion, anyone know anything about Derek Joslin?

Logan Couture and a 1st --- any takers? I know I'd be pretty tempted at this point. I don't think the Sharks would want to do that, but you never know.

Getting Ryan in some form of multi team deal would be amazing. Not holding my breath though.

Burke has got to do something with Kaberle at this point. After a long summer of speculation, clearly Kaberle is not happy with the way its been handled. Is it possible for Kaberle to still play for us this season after all that has happened? Signing him to an extension certainly does not look to be as slam dunk as once thought IMO.
 
Rumors will hit the peak level in the next 24 hrs, and I am not 100% convinced he'll be traded. Obviously, Burke will have a lot of making-up to do if he wants to re-sign Kaberle, but he also has all season to do that. Think about this - the reason Kaberle's so pissed about all the rumors, is because he wants to remain in Toronto. Worse comes to worst, Kabby doesn't re-sign, he is a trade bait comes trade deadline - as long as he doesn't pull a Mats "I don't believe in coming to a new team mid-season" Sundin.

Still, there's a decent chance Kabby will indeed wear a different uniform after tomorrow. Burke is a GM who CAN close deals, and I'd say ANA and DAL remain the forerunners.
 
Well, Kabby already screwed the team once when it came to a deadline deal. The Philly deal from a couple of years ago.

IMO, you've got to trade him now because I don't think he'll waive it at the deadline.
 
That was different.

He veto'ed the deal so he could remain a Leaf.

This, however, will be the last season in his contract. If he refuses to sign an extension, I don't see why he'd also refuse to waive his NTC comes deadline for the same reason.
 
Ryan Clowe? For Kaberle? A guy who can't even score 20 goals?

Are we going to call him top 6? Jeezus, hack and chop.

He got 22 goals in 08/09. And he was on the 2nd line for one of the best teams in the league. He is not horrible, but isn't top quality either.
