I have no issue taking a ribbing for switchign alegiances, it coms with the territory.

What i resent is the idea that i bash the leafs on this board and wish them poor returns in trades.

I challenge someone to look for anything malicious towards them in my 10K posts around here. I act with nothing but profellionalism and rationalism

The fact remains that Jonas is one of the few who comprehends that we are not going to get Tyler Seguin or our first round pick back for Kaberle (without giving up a whole lot more).

I understand that...but in this shitty time do we really need to be reminded about what a shitty return we'll likely be getting?

I mean if/when this happens, no one will be happy, everyone will be miserable...there really isn't anyway to fix this without this turning into more of a mess.

Please. Your outlook is clearly biased against the Leafs.
 
Burke isn't keeping Kaberle. I've given up hope on that.

So considering that, I'd be pretty happy with Colborne, Bos 1st and a guy like Kampfer or Boychuk.

But it is your job to make your team better.

And if Boston is the only place Kaberle is willing to go, then you deal him there. Not let him walk.

No matter how much it sucks.

No way.... if Boston is offering Ryder and a 5th round pick or something because they know Kabs has only said he'd go to Boston, then you tell Boston to suck it and trade for the amazing Chris Phillips.... I let Kaberle walk and take the cap space at the expense of giving Boston a very important piece for this playoff run and for an extension. Forget it.
 
Taken from sportsnet...

There are rumblings that the deal will be done withing the next 72 hours and the players coming back could be Colborne and Wheeler. And if Kaberle signs an extension then Boston would add their 1st round pick in the deal (Boston's first).

Exactly.

MNIJ said that Boston wouldn't be willing to give up any pieces that would jeopardize its cup run (understandable). But then he said that they also wouldn't give up Seguin or our 1st.

**** Boston if they want their cake and eat it too. When your serious about going for a cup run, you almost always have to give up something of future value in order to get a serious deadline acquisition, whether that be someone with a contract or even a rental. In this case it would be likely that Kaberle signs with them by the sounds of it.

Pony up Boston or forget about the cup.
 
Colborne is a big strong skilled centre who has to grow into his body both skillwise and gritwise.

I peg him as a good two-way big 2nd line centre if he progresses well, but might just end up a big 3rd line centre in the end...if he doesn't bust completely.
