Leaf Rumours

No interest in Pominville or Roy, but Connolly is awesome. He is dangerous every time he is on the ice, and has that big slap shot.

Its too bad he's made of glass.

Some of us, yes for sure.

I think some of the 'rumors' have been wishful thinking more than anything ...

But I do trust Burke. Where the Kubina 'trade' was a pure salary dump, I think Burke does mean what he said about he doesn't really have to / want to trade Kaberle, and he's just as happy re-signing Kabby to an extension if he doesn't see what he likes.

At this point, it seems like a Kabby trade is almost imminent, but again, I trust Burke in understanding Kaberle's true market value, and that he's in no rush whatsoever to trade him.
 
If he can be traded for a 2nd round pick, why can't he be traded in another deal?

what is wrong with you?
 
There is something wrong with Vanek. And that contract makes him almost impossible to take on.

A lot of talent there though.
 
Vanek on Burke's team would have an extremely short leash, Vanek seems to be a player that Burke would have very little patience for.
 
My blood cousin from Capetown showed up, as dark as my wife. And explained that we were Jewish/Coon on my mothers side. After being told I was Scottish or something like that.

So coon is open license as far as I am concerned. All nationalities have goods and bads. I don't prefer any race over another. Never have.

Even like certain Irish.
 
Something tells me that Burke values Kaberle higher than the other 29 GM's do.. it's been two trade deadlines and two summers now where he can't seem to find a good enough offer for Kaberle. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't traded.. and if he is, the return won't be great.

And to be honest, he's been crap the past couple of seasons so it shouldn't surprise anyone that Burke has had problems getting a decent offer.

Man, I was nervous before that Burke might not get value for Kabs, but now you loons are terrifying me. Thankfully, I know better.

Btw, Staal is no secondary player on any other team. Just Pittsburgh. And Ryan is in play, though unlikely to be dealt.

Kaberle will only be traded for a STAR or a player with verrrry good potential to be a star. Simmonds is not that. JJ is not that. And together they don't combine to give us that.

If this is the return you guys are banking on, I think you're gonna be thrilled at what we actually get.

Because if this is all we would get for a top 10 dman in the league, then there is NO point in trading him whatsoever. None. You re-sign him. End of story.
 
There were alot of reports that LA was sick and tired of JJ's inability to listen and learn from the coaches. Maybe Wilson likes him and maybe JJ likes to listen to Wilson.
