Leaf Rumours

[Blueman]

maybe for some Leaf firepower?

Don't know where else to put this, and I know teeds has been all over this already.. BUT someone I know works with all sorts of people (I probably shouldn't give any specifics), one of which is Gary Roberts.. and yea, Roberts trashed the Leafs fitness strategy for their players. Absolutely trashed it. Again, it's probably nothing new, but this should probably confirm that idea.

 

[Volcanologist]

fitness is not their problem.

 

[Metalleaf]

It could help kadri's development though

The name Dustin Penner is rattling around my skull as far as a follow up deal goes.

Unrelated, but does anyone remember what Anaheim ended up getting with the draft picks they acquired from Edmonton, for signing Penner?

 

[Pronger84]

Burke got a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder as compensation for Penner.

August 2, 2007 - Signed as a restricted free agent by the Edmonton Oilers to an offer sheet that was not matched by the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks received 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks from the Edmonton Oilers as compensation in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.

 

[Montana]

..but does anyone know what those picks turned into?









(yes, I'm too lazy to look it up.)

 

[Metalleaf]

1st round 12 Tyler Myers (defence) Canada Buffalo Sabres (from Edmonton via Anaheim via Los Angeles)
2nd round 43 Justin Schultz (defence) Canada Anaheim Ducks (from Edmonton)
3rd round 73 Kirill Petrov (right wing) Russia New York Islanders (from Edmonton via Anaheim)

 

[Montana]

Thank you sir.

 

[Metalleaf]

The Ducks traded the first rounder for....17th overall aka Jake Gardiner and other picks

 

[Montana]

heh....nice.

 

[teeds]

With guys like Tim Hunter and Ron Wilson lingering around, I won't take my technology anywhere near this team. Its a Barney and Fred world out there, all over the place, but the main characters hang out at 50 Bay Street.

Burke on Kaberle: The agent has asked for complete secrecy on process. Player, agent have respected that. We'll respect it too.

#Leafs are very active. Just heard from non-Leaf, but high ranking official from other team, "I'd be shocked if Kaberle isn't moved".

Prefer that to him walking.

 

[teeds]

That is AWESOME of Kaberle. He is apparently interested in seeing what he can display with a better team. But I think he is taking a big risk of injury. He is looking a F U money with the contract he will sign in the off season.

Any chance Leafs resign this guy?

 

[Volcanologist]

I think for us to get proper value he'll have to re-sign with the other team.

 

[Metalleaf]

As dumb as trading Kaberle is, Burke isn't stupid, he'll get as much as he can for Kabs. Its too bad Burke is dead set on building this team with a core of 20-somethings.
