Leaf Rumours

As per Ek

Traded emails with two GMs. Nothing that happens with Tomas Kaberle should surprise us. Teams believe he will waive NTC for right deal

If Burke can get anything of value in return for any of these guys, I'll be very impressed. But I have a feeling that all of these guys will still be Maple Leafs once the deadline has passed.

I think you might be right ....
It wouldnt be disappointing for the leafs to hang onto stemp even a new contract for substaintially less .....
But primeau and exelby are just rodents taking up space on the road waiting to get run over. Future roadkills

I was in the car listening to Berger when he was talking about Kabs and Washington. All he said was Washington is quietly pursuing Kaberle and then speculated on the names he thought would be of interest, never once said they had offered us Alzner and a 1st.

k, i got my info from hf.. i didn't actually hear it myself. thanks for the clarification.
 
Alzner and a 1st is a pathetic offer anyways, either way.

Nahh, I'd be very disappointed if we brought him back next year, no matter what we pay him. I've had to watch this guy zip around the ice fast and accomplish nothing for about a season and a half in Toronto, and that's more than enough. Get rid of him, and "Mitchy" too.
 
There's one thing I'm waiting for that hasn't come yet.

You just know Burke is trying to land a bad contract or two to bring in a couple of picks, especially since it looks like we'll need to fill out the forward ranks on the roster. We're honestly almost an AHL team up front now that Poni is gone and Stemp has a foot out the door.

I'm fully expecting a Ryder + 2nd deal or something like that to be struck at some point soon.
 
Mitchell I agree with (I personally think the only reason he is on this team is because he is wilsons little saddle queen).
But I think Stemp could hold some value if played in the right parameters. He shouldnt be on the PP but is because of wilson ..... wilson is the real problem here. Lack of talent ok .... but that shouldnt effect the PK and the defensive play of this team ..... minnesota played with less offense and less defensive talent then the leafs but they still competed .... WILSON is the problem .... WILSON IS AN ADOMINDED OBTUSE LITTLE TROLL!!!!
Thanks, now I feel better ......... have a nice day all ......

Yeah Berger is pretty clueless... outside of Alzer and Della Rouvere (sp?), he had no clue who else was in Washington's system (no mention of Carlson). Not that his opinion means much, but he thought Wash would have a tough time moving Alzner even for Kabs.
 
if washington likes kaberle then it starts with fleischman and either carlson or alzner.

and that would be a solid trade for toronto.
 
yup
it would be offence that the leafs would need ... with a young schenn and phaneuff, gunnerson ..... the leafs need forward talent.

Too much D.

If we trade Kaberle, we have to translate him into a top calibre first line forward, and more.

I like Carlson alot, but I have to agree with this.........my preference if we deal Kaberle would most definitely be to acquire some legit top line talent.
 
Carlson is too good of a talent to pass up IMO.

66 point pace as a 19 year old in the AHL.

If they dealt Kabby, they'd have to replace him anyway.
 
Yeah, if it's Carlson or a lesser talent, of course.

But getting an equivalent in talent who plays center should be our top priority.

And I still say we shouldn't trade Kabby at all.

If we can't land a good young center with our other assets, then I'd prefer taking on a huge contract like Vinny's than to trade Kabby.

I don't just mean vs a lesser talent, I mean against anyone.

Carlson is a damn good prospect. I don't care what position he plays.
