They are more likely to deal a Morrow, Ribeiro or Richards because of their respective cap hits IMO, I would be open to either of the three, TBH, but I know Burke is targeting a winger, so I'm personally holding out hope for Morrow.
100% agree. Morrow would be a sick addition. That can is so much fun to watch and the TO fans would love this guy!! Get it done Burkie
It makes sense from a TO standpoint, Morrow adds grit, leadership, goal scoring and energy to our lineup, for those same reasons I'm not convinced the deal makes sense for Dallas. They are trying to move cap space, and get younger though, so who knows? That being said I still believe the most likely trade candidates on Dallas are Ribeiro and Richards.

I'd rather not trade kabs for morrow. Too old and starting to get injury prone...not like he is going to put us over the top too so trading for him makes no real sense. By the time we might be ready to compete he won't be anywhere near his prime.

This isn't a rebuild Kyle, the leafs are going to compete this season, will they contend? Probably not, but the process has already begun. Morrow is only 31, and he's the kind of player that most definately puts us over the top. He provides scoring, leadership, two way play, and grit, he is like Mike Richards in the big games. IF we could get Kaberle for him I would take the offer and run, and I know Burke would too, unfortunately Dallas likely wont do it for the same reasons I listed above.

He is 31 sure but he has played a very physical style of game his entire career. He doesn't have the body of a 31 year old any more. Regardless of the fact that this isn't a normal rebuild you can't just trade your biggest trading chip for a player who will be hitting the tail end of his career soon imo. His body isn't going to hold up that much longer because of the style of play he chose to play his entire career.

Hopefully your right though and dallas doesn't do it.

Have you seen Mororow play? You act like he's some aging 40 year old...He's still got a ton left in the tank, and he was fantastic last season, so good in fact that he earned a roster spot on Team Canada. Bringing in Morrow is the equivalent of bringing in Roberts way back whwn, only differnce is that Morrow is younger now, than Roberts was when he joined us.

I think you'll see Kab's in a Sabres uni at the draft


i hate stafford but i have a feeling he'll be coming our way + prospect or a pick.

Yah, after the Phaneuf trade I'm kinda expecting/hoping for a bigger name than Stafford.

Honestly... is Vinny to big a dream? Horton? rights to Radulov + ? is that #4 actually out there for Kabs?


Bold, Experienced and Intelligent GM with the best network in the league... amazing what he's done for us already.

What about something entirely unexpected?

Valtteri Filppula from Detroit ? what would we need along with him? Kaberle really is a Red Wing in style.

Are the Coyotes looking for a natural puck mover? reunite Boedker with Kadri ? grab Kulemin ver 2.0 in Tikhonov+?

Phoenix has no icentive to deal away cheap futures for a defenceman who will not resign after next season, Detroit could be a fit, especially with Hudler returning to the mix, I'm not sure they have what we want though. Assuming Los Angeles fails to resign Marleau or Kovalchuk they could be an interesting fit. They have several pieces that would be interesting in a trade; Thomas Hickey, Andrei Loktionov, Brayden Schenn, Colten Teubert and Oscar Moller.

I hope so,

i heard an interview yesterday on the Fan590 with Kab's agent....he said Burke would be smart to let them talk to another teams, to see if a contract can be worked out before a deal -- that way both Toronto and the unknown team can benefit from this trade.

That would be smart, but Burke is still going to take the best offer obviously. Whether that's with a team Kaberle will sign an extension for, or not.

Sort of a moot point, as the best offer will assuredly come with an extension, I don't even think thats debatable.

Probably. But you never know. A team that wants to gun for it next year with a bunch of UFA/RFA extensions COULD pony up the best offer. Not likely, but I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility.

I definately think it's out of the realm of possibility, if that truly were the case, theyd make a bid at the deadline, not in the offseason.
