Krieder and Callahan...book it...and Irish can attest i gave him those 2 names weeks ago.

Krieder was the 19 overall pick, Gardiner was the 17th overall pick. Did anyone else notice how Burke said we picked up a former 19th overall pick? Misspoken or insight on what he has been working on?

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.

This infuriates me. Budget??? BUDGET is the reason we can't keep Kaberle?? After you spent 6 million on Homosarek and LeBad??

Trying not to get too pissed off here, Burke did make a pretty good trade today after all.
 
Heard Dreger on Watters show around 530ish... amongst other things, he mentioned that there were 5 teams pursuing Versteeg

Why are they pursuing this?

What kind of asset can you get for Versteeg that is better than Versteeg for us right now?

If you get a prospect, that's ****ing dumb for a return for a 24 year old scoring forward. If you get a more established older guy, that's even stupider, since Versteeg hasn't even neared his prime yet.

Totally senseless.
 
Versteeg would be an attractive part of a package for an elite player, hypothetically speaking. I don't know that I can envision a scenario where he returns something great straight up, but he could form a solid part of a major trade offer.
 
Kreider.. nice if true. I saw him at the world junior Bronze medal game and he was by far the most impressive player of the bunch.

Like Jake Gardiner today, we're talking about pure elite wheels.

What wouldn't surprise me to see is if Burkie was named GM for Team USA at the World Championships again and he put Gardiner on the team just to warm him up for the AHL next season.

#Leafs not done dealing, but don't expect the #NYRangers to meet the demands for Tomas Kaberle. http://tinyurl.com/6g9lxtn

Sources say that the Leafs would want at least three pieces back -- a current NHLer, a prospect and possibly a first-round pick in return for Kaberle.

The Rangers won't be complying with that request, to be sure. It's doubtful the Rangers would trade any of their core young NHLers; AHL prospects Evgeny Grachev and Dale Weise would be in play, but the Rangers also aren't giving up a first-round pick for any deadline rental.

Exactly what Dreger said... he said it would take an overpayment by one of those teams for Burke to pull the trigger, anything less and he holds on the Steeg
