Leaf Rumours

Not necessarily, you guys have dealt with the Bruins, we've dealt with you. Perhaps if the Leafs were in playoff contention there would be more of a premium cause you don't want to face a player you gave up in a big game.

I was thinking past this year. Unless you're suggesting this would be a rental only, with Markov supposedly returning next season.

you know what? I still wouldn't want to hand a big rival a weapon like that. Kaberle's reputation has taken beating from being on a losing team, but you plug this guy into a good team and he's back to 60 points again.

As for those assets... if you're expecting any better for a pending UFA then you'll likely be very disappointed with the return you get if Kaberle is traded.

I'm not expecting anything. The Kaberle trade ship has sailed and I'm expecting him to sign a new deal before the season is over.
 
I absolutely don't want to see Kaberle on the Habs. I'm hoping he's re-signed. I don't want to have to play against him on a good team all the time.

No interest in Kristo. 1 goal, 4 assists for 5 points in 17 games this year.
 
yeah both Weight and Tkatchuk did it for St. Louis, and they are reaping those rewards for those moves now.

I hated it back then because we couldn't do it. I know it isn't "legal" but I am sure this is what Weight and Tckachuk did with St Louis management. Tehy basically agreed to come back for a certain amount and then let themselves be rented out. They both got a pretty good return as well.

If Kaberle loves this team so much and we are out of it come deadline, I approach Kaberle with this type of offer (in fact you have to do it now..) agree on a term and amount... shake on it. Then get moved only if it is deemed a good move, then in the off season resign for the agreed upon term and amount.

We get a pick and a prospect out of it. Yeah leafs

Fair enough, I was just naming a couple guys who have shown some potential. I really don't have much of an opinion on Kristo either way. The only time I've ever watched him play was in the WJC last year and he looked pretty good.
 
I'd be much happier if we started to hear Komi trade rumors :facepalm

This guy is literally clouding any view that we have one of the best defensive games in the league.
 
I'd trade Komi for a bag of pucks and a 3rd round pick. The cap space alone is worth it, not to mention he would be blocking our kids from developing and getting more ice time.
 
The writing is on the wall for him. His minutes have been diminishing and with Phaneuf close to return he'll be playing less (if at all if were lucky)

We seen what happened to the last guy who was getting big money to play bottom pairing/ press box minutes.
 
what about a Komi for Souray and a 3rd, then we just keep souray in the minors, less salary and a guy Edmonton can use, and we just essentially buy a 3rd round pick.
 
Expensive 3rd round pick.

I'd probably be okay with that, but Souray may have a hard time cracking the Marlies lineup.
 
Kaberle has been awesome.

+3 on a team that can't score? Him and Schenn have been unbelievably good together. They complement each other perfectly, and are giving the Leafs TWO legitimate shut down pairs.

Now I just can't wait until Aulie pairs with Gunnarsson on the third pair and Phaneuf re-joins Beauchemin on the top unit..
 
Souray is actually still a pretty good defenseman ... he can play in the NHL right now, it's his contract that keeps him down there.

But to do all that just to buy a 3rd round pick, AND help the Oilers in the process? No thanks.

Kaberle is playing his best hockey over the last few years now he's paired with Schenn this season.

And you're right mbow ... those 3 units would be pretty awesome. And, the best part is, Gunnarson has turned his game around and him and Aulie can play over 20 min a game, easing the load on the first 2 units.
