Leaf Rumours

yes ... and I think Burke puts him through waiver also as a favour to Mitchell. Clearly, he's not going to play anytime soon, when even guys like Boyce and Crabb are ahead of him in the depth chart, so might as well let him go elsewhere if there are takers out there.

And I think Wilson already confirmed they WILL call up a dman (thank God for that ) ... so they did have to waive 1 person (or send Reimer down ... lol)
 
does Gustavsson and Bozak for Bailey and a pick work at all?
Again, I don't think Gustavsson is traded ... the speculation came from the fact he was pulled after the 1st period, but the Marlies said that was because Gus showed an elevated heart rate.

If that is indeed true, I wonder if anyone would trade for him at this point. It seems to be a recurring problem.

And don't think the Isles would pay Bailey for Bozak and Gustavsson.
 
I'd love to land Bailey.


Edit - actually his numbers are pretty bad this year, but he seemed to be on fire at first.
 
Not really. Orr still can't exercise.

it's temporary. those guys will come off sooner or later. and when they do, they will have to open a roster spot.

no point in keeping a guy around that you don't plan on keeping around.. just because.
 
Orr is out of the picture right now, and when Brown is back Rosehill goes down. Just saying there is no need for the roster spot.

Yeah, it may not be related to another move, but they have room to keep Mitchy.
 
Some chatter out of New York has the Rangers going hard after Kaberle......Burke's apparently looking for a pair a prospects from them in return.

He's also apparently been in talks with Kaberle's agent twice in the past few days......2nd team also talking to Burke about an offer for Kabs.
 
Burke was just on with Bill and it really sounds like Kabs is done... he basically was asked if an extension was an option.. in which Burke said " we have a budget and number for our defense and Kaberle and Curran's numbers can't be had here... he is most likely able to get what he wants elsewhere.

in other words, he's not here no matter what next year.
 
That sucks. Kabby deserves his big payday though. He took a big time hometown discount. Big time. McCabe took a pretty good one, and he made $1.5 million more per year. Kaberle could have easily gotten $6.5+ at the time, so I don't blame him for looking to cash in now.

It sucks pretty bad though that $4.5 million of that budget is locked up in Komi.

Burkie's chasing Chris Kreider. A kid that earned a World Championship spot last year at 18.
