Leaf Rumours

[corksens]

I think those who are of the opinion that Kaberle is somewhat likely to re-sign in TO should he be traded need to look at league history. I did the same after thinking that Phillips may come back to Ottawa after being traded.

I can't think of any significant player doing it over the past decade or so.

 

[Metalleaf]

Nothing the Leafs could get would make this fanbase happy...that's just the way it is.

Considering the situation Burke finds himself in, a trade that includes Colburne and Boston's 1st along with another significant asset isn't a bad starting point. Of course, I'd rather just re-sign Kabs, but assuming that ship has sailed, it is what it is. Just not sure I have much interest in Wheeler either.

Wheeler is what he is. He'll never be a star, but he's a solid 2 way forward who should peak at 25-25-50 or so.

 

[axlsalinger]

In other words, dime a dozen.

 

[Metalleaf]

Colbourne, Kampfer, and Boston's 1st at least

We don't have ANY of those.......

I don't know about that. 50 point forwards with his size, 2 way play, and PK ability aren't that easy to find.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Colborne, Wheeler and their 1st for a signed Kabs?

Unless Colborne and Wheeler are gonna be immediately flipped for Brayden Schenn, I don't think I want that.

 

[zeke]

big soft 40pt wingers are fairly easy to find.

We had 5 forwards on pace for 50 pts and we're in the basement.

Fine. I'd be more than happy if the Bruins kept him.

Then go get 7 more.
They're everywhere apparently.

Darren Dreger Sources say nothing is expected to happen with the Bruins, Leafs and Kaberle tonight. 2nd source says just discussion at this point.

 

[hockeylover]

You sound way too much like a used car salesman here. Who every once in a while reminds us of his potential commission too.

 

[axlsalinger]

Fine. I'd be more than happy if the Bruins kept him.

Great. We'll take Rask instead.

Call the league office.

 

[Volcanologist]

Wheeler is an upgrade on some of the players we have, sure. But so are lots and lots of guys. He is nothing special. Maybe a slightly above average player due to his defence.

I can't believe they're running Kaberle out of town for average talent and we get to watch Komisarek **** the dog for the next 3 years instead

**** I am pissed off

sounds like it is going to be Boston, lot of smoke out there and Neely/Burke dropping hints on the radio today. and it's going to be this week probably. I'm finding it hard to reserve judgement due the deal not being done yet, as Burke has stated he doesn't want the pick back and they aren't talking about it. That would basically kill any interest in me making a deal with them.

caveat -- I am talking strictly about the names we've heard so far...Wheeler/Colborne/Hammil/etc. Things could change entirely if it's something else.
