Leaf Rumours

Kaberle + Kulemin for Ryan + Filler Contract
Grabo for a pick
Sign Poni



Versteeg Kadri Ryan
Poni Bozak Kessel
Sjostrom Mitchell Armstrong
Orr Hanson Brown
(Caputi)

Beauchemin Phaneuf
Gunnarsson Komisarek
Schenn Lebda
(Aulie/Mikus)

Gustavsson / Giguere
(Rynnas/Reimer)
 
funny thing is, even if the Leafs traded Kaberle AND Schenn for Ryan, they'd still be able to ice a pretty strong top 4 -- Phaneuf, Beauchemin, Komisarek, Gunnarsson.

I'd probably do that trade as well -- although Burke would have to trade for another dman.

Did anyone note that the Ducks unloaded Eminger?

Clear a spot for Kabs?

I don't think it's necessarily to clear a spot for Kaberle, because the Ducks only have 3 defensemen under contract for next season anyways.

But it sure is interesting with only 3 blueliners on contract for next season, and that they also publicly said they'll most likely walk away from the Wisniewski arbitration because they already offered what they think is fair value, and Wisniewski turned it down - and under those circumstances they still traded away Eminger.
 
They can't trade Schenn and Kaberle for Ryan. Maybe if Ryan had already broken out. That won't make the team better though.

Its arguable that Ryan would even be an upgrade on Kaberle to begin with.
 
I'd never let Schenn be the stumbling block to adding a player of Ryan's caliber.......PTBNL's trade proposal is one we should be all over.

Defenseman like Schenn aren't as hard to find as some of us would like to believe
 
Yeah, we shouldn't let our recent top 5 pick, 20 year old top 4 defensemen be a stumbling block to a deal.

Lets just throw him in to a deal with a top 10 offensive dman in the league. Who cares? **** it.
 
Trading Kabs AND Schenn for Ryan is a huge risk, we dont even know if the guy will sign here if he comes. I'm fine for giving up Kabs, Grabo and a 2nd at most for ryan, but nothing more then that.

the Ducks laugh at you and remove you from they're cell phone with an offer like that.
 
Isn't there a pretty good precedent for that type of move?

2 1sts + 2nd.....

Kaberle + Schenn >> 2 1sts + 2nd
 
Hey my buddy down at MLSE says the Ducks really want Kaberle but have only offered Lupul and a mid round pick. Burke is trying to pry away Sbisa in the deal; take it with a grain of salt once again.
