Leaf Rumours

No, Carter is not worth Kaberle, Kadri, and a 2nd with that being the starting point. Carter and a 1st was offered for Kaberle not too long ago, if we go by reported rumours.

Its a fair deal. If Kaberle is moved, Sopel can be a decent puck rushing D to help replace Kaberle. Plus trading Grabo will open up a spot for Kadri, and allows Burke to bring in a #1 centre either as a UFA or by trade.

Yes, but keep in mind this was 2 years ago when Kabs was a lot younger, and had a lenghtier contract. Plus Kabs play has dipped a bit since then, and Carter's has gone up significinatally.
 
Sopel isn't a decent puck moving defender.

He's a #6 defender at this point in his career...you realize you're talking about a guy who had 8 points this year, right?

Dude... Sopel had two goals and fourteen points in almost one hundred games this year. He's had absolutely no redeeming values offensively since the 2003-04 season and that was over six years ago.
 
and he makes 2+ million next season. We would have the most expensive 7-8 defenders in the history of hockey.
 
If you're gonna trade Grabo, you trade him as a package to get someone more expensive and that will improve the team, Sopel will not improve the team I'd rather take my chances with Mike Van Ryn.
 
I am no fan of Grabs, but come on. WTF would we need Sopel for? I'm not sure I'd do that trade even if it included Jeff Finger.

Possibly but a better trade would be this (if kaberle is moved):

To Toronto: Sopel

To Chicago: Grabo

You may have successfully found a trade proposal that is outright horrible for both teams.

Sopel would be at best a 6 in Toronto. Grabo would be at best a 4th line C in Chicago. Niether team is really freeing up $$$ which is the whole point of both players being on the block.

As for Sopel being a puck mover?...Heh
 
Well Sopel is a better player thaN Finger., and as you said ona better contract. So i dont see that happening.

Maybe if you take huet : )

Didn't they trade Whitney for Visnovsky?

totally forgot about that, although my point stands.

they just added visnovsky. they need a horse that plays at both ends. though i think that kaberle is quite a bit better than visnovsky i don't really see the need to have both of them.
 
I watched Dion Phaneuf a lot last year, and honestly, he seems like a talented Alcoholic. A very opinionated, chirpy alcoholic. Who cannot, because of his lack of fitness, play like Kaberle game in, and game out.

I went out drinking with the Leafs, Kaberle had a few sips of wine, the rest of them a lot more, and a few, fell down.
