Every team on the east coast is located in the eastern conference.

Would Detroit be considered the East for Kabs?

I'd assume if he actually wanted to stay in the east it would be to avoid the travel schedule in the west, not because of some allegiance to biggy smalls or something.
I'm pretty sure that is made up anyway though.

We are 3 players away from being a solid team. We have 2 players that can potentially fill 2/3 of those roles. Nazem Kadri might be able to centre a top line with Kessel if he is set up between a big bodied powerforward along the lines of Ryan Malone, Ryan Clowe, Scott Hartnell, Dustin Penner or a Zach Kassian(potentially). We have a solid group of young goaltenders in our system, and the hope is that one of them is able to rise to the occasion.
None of this might happen, as Kadri might not pan out, and none of the goalies could potentially be true number one goaltenders. But the hope is that we catch some luck in the next few years, like hell we're due for some.

It makes no sense to trade Kaberle now, with the top to bottom skill level being this low.

Two semi-reliable (according to Dallas posters on HF) sources in the Dallas media have suggested a deal between the Leafs and Stars is close.

The two biggest things missing from this team are a top centre, and a true goalie. Reimer was showing signs of being the latter, but sadly he got sent down. The leafs have skill, but they need more depth at centre, get rid of the plugs on the backend (beauch, komiserak) and bring up Reimer.

Hypothetically with the names being thrown about, I could see Beauch/Gunnar for Neal/Ribeiro
that would create:
Kessel-Ribeiro-Neal
Kulemin-Grabovski-MacArthur
Armstong-Bozak-Versteeg
Orr-Brent/Boyce-Crabb/Brown
Phaneuf-Aulie
Kaberle-Schenn
Komisarek-Mikus/Lashoff/Richmond, etc...

Salary, mate. If Dallas wants to resign Richards, they have to move salary, and Neal is due a big raise after this season, already at $2.9M and Ribeiro makes $5.5M
To Dallas its: $8M for $4M

Neal still has another year left on his current deal, so they don't need to deal him yet.
Ribeiro for Beauchemin, sure they'd do that deal. But if they're going to deal Neal or Benn, they will be sure to get a top quality defenseman in return. Neal or Benn for Kaberle, if they're really gunning for it, that makes sense on their part.
