Leaf Rumours

Kovlachuk's decision means the Kings will have to look elsewhere to upgrade their roster but there are still plenty of options. They've been connected to Simon Gagne trade rumors as well as discussions involving Leafs defenseman Tomas Kaberle. (EDIT 2:30 p.m.: Multiple reports of Gagne being traded to Tampa. So that eliminates another option for the Kings)

According to an NHL source, the Maple Leafs currently have six offers for Kaberle and with Kovalchuk out of the way, that number could increase.

"This deal has held up a number of deals," one NHL GM said on Monday.

Schenn for Kaberle.

Just thinking out loud:

How about LA trades for Gagne then ships Simmonds and Schenn for Kabs

EDIT: Wow..Matt Walker and a fourth-round pick

 

[TimHorton]

Schenn for Kaberle.

Why?

 

[Artnes]

Kaberle for darkness +

I just cant see the Kings having any interest in adding Kaberle. Not that he wouldn't help them immensely right now but their D next year will be;

Doughty
Johnson
Greene
Scuderi
Hickey
Teubert

I just think they'd be better off going after Bobby Ryan instead of Kabs.

Simmonds/Johnson for Kabs

Doughty
Kaberle
Greene
Scuderi
Hickey
Teubert

Simmonds/Johnson for Kabs

Good god.

Drop those expectations.

 

[Metalleaf]

Boy you must be fun to hang out with

 

[sensbk]

I think trading both Simmonds on Johnson would hurt the Kings this season, and then when Kaberle doesn't resign back it would absolutely cripple them.

 

[corksens]

The Sens should try to trade Spezza for Doughty and Kopitar.

Apparently you think LA is eager to give up their future.

Hey sens...do you think that trading both Simmonds and Johnson would hurt the Kings this season, and then when Kaberle doesn't resign back it would absolutely cripple them?? *wink*

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Whoa, I could have sworn I just had deja vu there.

 

[axlsalinger]

I think trading both Simmonds and Johnson would not hurt the Kings this season, and then when Kaberle does resign back it would absolutely strengthen them.

 

[sensbk]

Ha ha it was my nice way of saying that he was umm, maybe expecting a little too much in return.

 

[Metalleaf]

I wasn't even expecting that, I was posting to be funny, Sens fans have no Sense of humour, hence the buzzkill pic.

My wife once dressed up as Buzz Killington for a Family Guy party that we went to on Halloween. It was pretty sweet, she made a bunch of graphs and everything.
