Leaf Rumours

True, but its going to have to be done.

This team needs desperate help up front and he is the only thing of real value to bring something good back.

I don't see how this team can make the playoffs next year.

Yeah, but then we move Kaberle for forward help, and have to find another top puck-moving defenseman that can quarterback a power-play and play 20+ minutes a night. And that's infinitely more difficult to find (and more expensive) than help up front.

Though we won't know if he was actually made available to us, who would you guys rather have Caputi or Moller?

I know who Burke would pick.

to be honest, I was dead scared of the Moller rumour. that guy is a midget with unimpressive numbers. I'm not sure he's much of a prospect at all.
 
I dont think Kabs is going anywhere, but to throw more fuel on the fire.

Kaberly was quoted in the Toronto Sun

"There is nothing to talk about moving or anything like that,” Kaberle said. “You don’t say never, but I am here now."

"Playing 800 games is an honour. I want to stick with it, but you never know what is going to happen in the off-season."
 
with the lack of elite talent available at this deadline BB really could get a kings ransom from someone for TK.

That being said i think whatever happens with him is at the draft either trade or extension
 
Kabby is not moving. Definitely not today, highly unlikely in the summer neither.

But I understand why Kypreos and other media members keep digging ... because with Phaneuf, Kovalchuk, even Poni all already gone, what are they going to talk about all day on their 'annual trade deadline special'?? A bunch of "Exelby for 3rd" and "Primeau for future considerations" trades? So they HAVE TO come up with some Kaberle rumors.


However, if the Nathan Horton rumors have any truth to it, it might be an very interesting day. I'm not quite sure why, if Florida is trading Horton with us, that we have to get it done now instead of wait for the summer. I guess there could be other teams in the mix and those teams might want Horton for the stretch run.

I have trouble figuring out how the leafs can make a competitive offer for Nathan Horton if Kaberle is not in play, and without any draft picks of significance.

All i can think of is a Schenn package.
 
One of Kadri or Schenn would have to be included if we're trading for Horton, one would have to assume.

Then again, I still don't understand how we got Phaneuf without giving up 1 of Kadri, Kaberle or Schenn.

And honestly, I don't think we're getting Horton. I don't even get why Florida is trading Horton.
 
BTW, not to say we're actually gonna be involved, but apparently Boyes is on the block. His $4M salary is a little too costly for St.Louis apparently.

His last 3 seasons ...

2007-08 82 43 22 65
2008-09 82 33 39 72
2009-10 63 11 25 36 (on pace for 82G/14G/47Pts)

This is the 28 yrs old's first 'off' season but the former Leaf pick should be a consistent 30-35G, 60-70Pts first line center in this league.

I wouldn't mind the reunion if the price is right.
 
Someone who says they work for LeafsTV just tweeted: Burke is working the phones. He just told me that it is looking like he might be able to flip Skoula

That'd be interesting if we could get a pick for him anyway.
 
Staal isn't going anywhere. Pittsburgh is not going to start playoff without Staal. (I suppose you're talking Jordan)
 
why not trade Kaberle for some top end young talent and then take your chances at signing him again at the end of next season.
lets see with him in the lineup .... non playoff team
Without him in the lineup ... maybe still non playoff team but with more young talent and a chance to get him back in a season.
 
Traded players RARELY come back to re-sign with their original team.

That's why if you see Kaberle in your future plan, you don't trade him.
