Leaf Rumours

[evadeena]

To Washington for Semin and a pick or to Pittsburgh for Staal and a 1st.

Otherwise, I don't even want to hear it.

you mean kaberle and a 1st for semin

 

[leafman101]

Kabs doesn't have the ability to outscore Semin.

I'd trade him straight up for Semin if Semin wasn't Russian without a long term deal.

 

[LeafGm]

This is ****ing crazy.

Burke is scaring me. I think he wants to recoup a 1st so badly to downplay the fallout from the Kessel trade that he might part with Kabs at a discount to do it. Heaven forbid.

Hodgson is ****ing nothing in return for Kabs. Hodgson and a 1st I wouldn't even consider.

This better not be happening.

Dial back the panic a bit. Burke is not trading Kaberle for Hodgson. Burke didn't even think Kessel straight up for Kaberle was a satisfactory return, so he sure as hell isn't going to settle for Hodgson and a pick.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Again, I'm concerned that Burke wants that 1st so badly he might undersell our best player to get it.

Word out of a Philly area paper, the Flyers have called about Tomas Kaberle. Claude Giroux is on the table and was earlier when the Flyers were in on Kovalchuk.

 

[zeke]

why are you concerned about that?

 

[Montana]

.....there's zero foundation for such concerns.

 

[drewser]

It's eklund, but he says Kaberle down to Philly, Washington and Boston

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I'd go for a package around Carter too.

Giroux and a 1st though....hmmm.

If Philly's calling, then either JVR is part of the package, or no deal.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

JVR or bust.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Or our 1st back from Boston....

Things are getting interesting, though I still don't think we'll trade him.

 

[Artnes]

I don't think Philly has a first after the Pronger trade do they?

 

[Killer93]

JVR or Carter or GTFO
Our first back from Boston or GTFO

 

[leafman101]

I'm a big Giroux fan. I might like him better than Carter. PPg player in the AHL at 20, and a 50+ point pace at 21 in the NHL.

JVR is obviously #1 target.

 

[axlsalinger]

Philly does make sense. Carter, JVR, Giroux, several options there. They need to add a goalie more though, don't they?

 

[drewser]

Tony Ambrogio:
Burke on Kaberle: "His agent indicated there are a couple of locations he would go. We've explored those locations nothing happened "

 

[zeke]

Some interesting possibilities in Philly for sure.

 

[Hoss]

would you do our first straight up??

I know they talk about Kaberle to a playoff contender, but what if Kaberle doesn't super care about the playoffs.

Kaberle to Florida for Horton ?? Kabs and Mcabe back.. hell Florida can then sign Kubina in the off season.

then we can have LEafs East and Leafs West (Calgary now with Toskala)

 

[drewser]

Raffi Torres has told people(to his agents utter dismay) that he will never sign an extension because on July 1st he will be signing in T.O
