Leaf Rumours

They asked him about being only 6pts out and Burke replied that with 3pt games and the # of teams ahead of us, it won't be easy. Dropped his usual "I could trade Schenn for a couple vets and get into the playoffs and get spanked" line... don't see anything wrong with what he said.

Ahh, okay. Within that context, that quote makes more sense.
 
I am still having trouble understanding the need to trade your best player. Kaberle is five times the player Komisarek is, what the **** man, I am so pissed.
 
Why are some of you talking about trading Kabs in a package for Rask?

Reimer is the man right now, and trading Kabs for a goalie would be a complete waste.

And why is Burke rushing to make the deal two weeks before the deadline? First, if we get futures, losing Kabs for these two weeks will hurt us in the standings and improve Boston's pick. Second, is Burke the first GM in the history of the league to not realize that the closer it gets to the deadline, the more a desperate team will pay?

No one's talking about it. What are you talking about?
 
I'm really not against a Kabby trade anymore. I love him, and think he's awesome, but we could (should??) get some amazing long term pieces in exchange for him.

I mean, who right now doesn't wish that Carter and 1st for Kabby deal went down two years ago? We're in a similar spot now, just with less of a return due to his age and pending UFA status.

If Burke does his job, and pries loose Seguin or our 1st from Boston - and no deal should be made with them without one of those coming back to us - we'll be better off for it.

Before you break out your bold, scan the last several pages and you'll see some offers with Rask included bandied about.

This would be what, the third or fourth time in the last week that you've sniped at me without knowing what was going on? Take a breather.

If asking you a question is "sniping" you then yes I did. The only thing related to Rask in this thread was a sarcastic picture of him I posted in response to goaltenders Burke should be looking at.
 
Comcast SportsNet New England is reporting that the Bruins are close to acquiring Tomas Kaberle for Blake Wheeler and a draft pick.

Obviously, nothing has been confirmed, but that proposal does make a certain amount of sense. Kaberle would serve as a significant upgrade for the Bruins heading into the playoffs and, given that Kaberle has expressed an interest in playing for Boston specifically, he'll probably be open to signing a contract extension with them. In Wheeler, the Maple Leafs would be getting a significantly younger offensive defenseman. Wheeler will probably finish the 2010-11 season with about 35 points, but he reached the 45-point marker in his rookie season and he could do it again

Joe Haggerty Sources tell CSNNE.com that #Bruins getting close on multiple deals: Kaberle to Boston and Stuart to the Blackhawks.
 
If it's Wheeler & their first, Burke better be getting a pick of any prospect he wants from their system as the final piece.
 
Colborne/Caron, Wheeler, and a first round pick would have me breaking something in my house but it wouldn't be enough to send me off to burn Pronger's house down.
 
Ok I did say if it's a deal that can bring us Rask Burke should definitely look into it.

Why? Because as impressed as I am with Reimer, didn't we have the same degree of optimism with Gusto same time last season?

Young goalies are such a big question mark you never know what you really got in a goalie until his sophomore season, sometimes 3rd season. Reimer's looked really good so far, and I THINK he's the real deal. But there's no guarantee.

Rask *is* the real deal that much is certain. If Reimer turns out to be the real deal too, then great, we got 2 great young goalies, we can look at trading 1 of them down the road.

Rask is a solid young goalie. I'd take him over Wheeler or Colborne any day of the week.
