Leaf Rumours

Maybe Edmonton realizes that you have to develop the crew you have.. like the link says, maybe they want another player and need the cap space?? Maybe it's Khabby Just throwing names out. Like Brian Campbell, I can see that happening, and Burke thinking Campbell can be a good replacement for Kaberle as the puck moving D. Who do you give back though.

Well if i am givng you Campbell and 1 and a 2.

I want Armstrong, D'Amigo and Gunnerson
 
I ruin careers with my jersey picks.

The basic rule of thumb with jerseys can be outlined in three ways.

1.) Get a jersey of a tenured player with a meaningful contribution to the franchise (Sundin, Joseph, Belfour, Roberts, etc.)
2.) Get a jersey of a youngster likely to play many seasons ahead and is unlikely to be moved (Schenn, Kadri, Grabovski, etc.)
3.) Go retro and get a jersey of a guy who played well for the team in the past and/or had a cool number (Keon, Gilmour, Clark, Mahovlich, Mogilny).
 
It's a shame how underrated Campbell has become as a result of his mega contract. He's still comfortably in the top ten of the best, most consistently reliable puck-moving defenceman in the league as far as I'm concerned.
 
I'd still say no. I would almost expect a 1st and a 3rd straight up for Kaberle so the fact that the Leafs would then have to take on Campbell as well is a no deal for me.
 
I think we all know who to turn to with advice on Jerseys.

I have almost 100 and only three times did a player i have get traded or leave via FA

Byfuglien CHI
Kariya ANA
Gaborik MIN

anyone else that i have was bought after they left as a vintage.

I don't know about that. 19 points isn't all that impressive.

Kariya with the ducks is vintage as far as im concerned. I can only picture him in a ducks jersey.
 
No way I'd trade Kaberle in that deal.

MAYBE I'd take Campbell if the Hawks just give up their 1st and 3rd. Maybe. Probably not though.
 
not syaing i wouldnt have done that in the summer....but kinda defeats the purpose now.

We have cap room coming up with the bonuses off the cap to keep Seabrook. So unless its an absolutly fantastic 2nd move to bring someone in..I have no interest in paying BUrke to take Campbell.

He is very overpaid, but still a damn effective dman.
 
The only way we take on salary on the back end is if we can shed one of our huge contracts like Komi. I'd hate to see us dump cap space on the blueline. It's already over payed and under skilled.
 
He is not just very overpaid. He is very overpaid for another 5 years. If I'm Chicago I'd kill to get out of that one.

They could sign Kabby or Markov in the offseason for less.
