Leaf Rumours

Thats the thing, he's playing a game of double standards with Kaberle. He feels its "dishonarble" to request he move his NTC, yet its OK to attempt to trade him when theres a freeze in his clause. If Burke wants him gone and it helps the team in the long run, then he needs to man up and ask Kaberle to waive. He's basically lying to Kaberle, and thats disrespectful in my eyes.

You obviously have no clue what ethics are. He is honouring the contract as it was written (prior to Burke coming to TO). If Kaberle has an issue with the way the contract is written he should be upset with his agent.

If something comes up we can talk, it's what my agent's for," said Kaberle. "I just worry about the hockey games.

Not the usual 'I want to retire a leaf' we have heard over the last few years. Sounds like he may be willing to waive

I'm not getting that he's willing to waive or not waive. All hes saying is that his agent will deal with any contract negotations, requests to move ntc, and possible trade deal.
 
I hope he doesn't waive. I either want to see him re-signed long term, or I want to see him leave for nothing as a UFA, flip Burke the bird and get himself some respect and a Stanley Cup somewhere else.

I don't understand this thinking process....would that really make you feel better? I doubt it.

Not really, but dealing him for some piddly return at the deadline instead of just making the absolute no-brainer move and re-signing him long-term won't make me feel better either.
 
why not trade him at the deadline (and he will get more than a piddly for him) than resign him after the season is over. A GM that really thinks he can get over the top now will pay dearly for him ... he wont care about the future, it is the present that counts.
 
I don't get the notion that he would fetch nothing in return.

So what if he's a rental player to another team? Have we not seen some pretty hefty rental deadline deals in the past. Especially for someone of Kaberle's talent level.

Not sure why a team looking for that edge wouldn't overpay for a Kaberle.
 
I don't even like him so much as a prospect. But he didn't deserve a call-up based on his AHL play, and here the Canucks call him up and forcefeed him PP time to boot.
 
I guess, I just don't think it's ever necessary to resign a 4th liner for 3 years. 3 years from now Brown could be flipping burgers.
