Leaf Rumours

Hey, what do you guys think of Jason Pomminville?? I mean, there have been rumours for a while that Buffalo has wanted Kaberle...

Pomminville has been a 60 to even 80 point player... never cracking 30 goals but has been from 38 to 53 assists in the last three years.

He does play right wing, but could he switch to left as a top line guy or would you see him as a second line RW.
 
Eh, he's not a bad option, but I don't think Burke shld do it. One being the guy isnt a goal scorer, he's a playmaker, we need goal scorers. Secondly, if we trade Kaberle to a division rival, chances are he's gonna burn us 6 times a year, and he'll improve Buffalo. No, the better option would be trading Kabs to a western conference team, a team like Anahiem for Carter and a 1st rounder.
 
Just a note: Pomminville has a limited NMC. He has to provide a list of 8 teams every year. I doubt we are on the list. He can always waive it though.

I'd rather not see Kabs any more than a couple of times a season either.
 
That dick Simmons in the sun today wrote that the idea that Colombus is desperate to get into the playoffs again is willing to move the 4th overall pick for help to do that as opposed to what the 4th overall could bring.

That definitely could be a move that Burke looks to. Kaberle for the 4th overall??? hmmm if you could then move the fourth pick and say Grabs for something really good like Ryan.

maybe Kaberle and Kulemin for the 4th and Filatov
 
I'd trade Kaberle for the 4th overall pick in a heartbeat. But heck no to Filitiov, the guy has major attitude problems, and is a flight risk, he'd take off to his homeland if he feels things don't his way. I'd trade Kaberle and Grabo for columbus's 1st rounder (4th overall), and a 2nd rounder.
 
The problem with this draft is the same as the 2004 draft: massive drop-off after the first two coveted forwards. And when trading Kaberle that should be taken into consideration. If Filatov was part of a package deal I would be much more receptive (Wolfie and I even had him ranked as the best prospect in the game at one point during the season) to a trade.
 
If Filatov is serious about coming back to the NHL and not turning into a drama queen, I think Filatov and the 4th would be a fair deal for Kaberle.
 
I can't see CBJ giving up the #4 pick and Filatov for Kaberle. I'm pretty sure that Filatov is expected back next season.
 
I'm sure they could get a lot more value by moving the #4 and Filatov to another cap strapped team. A team like Chicago, Pittsburgh or even the Habs would likely give up a lot more for some very young, cheap highly talented guys and clear up some space. Chicago is the most obvious though.
 
What can Montreal offer that would constitute more value to Columbus than an Olympian, four-time all-star defenceman on a bargain contract?

I don't even know, I was just saying that a top prospect and the #4 overall pick should be able to land a fair bit more than a pending UFA. Not trying to knock Kaberle at all.

I suppose with the free fall from Mason last year the Habs deal could start with Halak or Price. I doubt that the Jackets are looking to replace Mason just yet though. I think they will wait to see if he bounces back first though.

I was just coming up with teams that could use the cap relief. The Rangers and maybe Detroit could be on that list too.

What really should happen is MLSE just buy the Blue Jackets and contract them and take Nash and whatever other relevant pieces they have.
 
a few random thoughts. ...

Sure Columbus can use a puck moving defenseman like kaberle, but if they think they're a kabby away from a good playoff team they're wrong. FoR a team that had so many top picks their roster is a joke.

Now I don't think they'll trade the 4th overall pick foR Kabby and never mind Filatov + 4th, but I'd sure do it in a heart beat. Too bad this trade only exists in Simmons' imagination
 
Simmons and I never stated Kaberle for the 4th and Filatov...

I stated originally that if contract talks don't go so well with Kulemin, and Filatov agrees to talk first and guarantee he'll stay this year for top two line minutes (which he could get) then it would be Kabs plus Kulemin for 4th and Filatov.

OR trade kabs for the 4th then flip the 4th and kulemin for Ryan.
 
Fair enough

Personally I Don't think Ryan is going anywhere.

And while Filatov has talent, his attitude is probably a deal breaker for Burke
 
I have a hunch that Burke is working on BIG STUFF right now. I smell Joe Thornton, as San Jose MUST be looking to get a bit of a fresh start going. Cause Marleau is most likely going as well.

Kadri, Kulemin, Stalberg for Thornton. Kaberle for Jordan Staal.
