What Offer Is Right For Kaberle?

from Michael Traikos ot the National Post at the Montreal Gazette, ?We?re not asking for anything,? Burke said. ?We?re fielding offers. We?re either going to get an offer that makes sense for Tomas Kaberle or we?re going to keep him.? The difficulty is figuring out what offers might make sense. It is no secret that the Leafs, who appear to be starting the season with sophomore Tyler Bozak and rookie Nazem Kadri as their top two centres, are incredibly thin up front. The team needs players who can put the puck in the net. So any deal would have to include a top-six forward. But with 180 top-six forward positions in the league, the quality varies. ?Is it Sidney Crosby or is it someone who got 21 goals last year?? asked one league GM, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. ?It would depend on what your qualifications on a top-six forward are. I would assume that Burkie is talking about a guy that could bring some offence.? more

  • Columbus Did Make An Offer For Kaberle

    • via Tom Reed of Puck-rakers at the Columbus Dispatch, The Blue Jackets offered no players from their NHL roster in trade talks with Toronto for Tomas Kaberle, the Dispatch has learned. This is hardly surprising given that Kaberle had only one season remaining on his deal. (Some of the projected proposals?i.e. Jake Voracek?were entertaining.) It?s believed the Jackets? offer was centered around draft picks and prospects. While Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke said he was looking for a top-6 forward

  • Kaberle Plans To Stay In Toronto

    • from Jonas Siegel of 640am, It?s not happening. That?s at least the latest impression from Kaberle who reiterated Sunday his much-repeated stance of remaining in blue and white beyond the March 3rd trade deadline. ?I hope so,? Kaberle said of staying with the Leafs through March 3rd. ?Nothing changed on my side so we?ll see.? more

  • Leafs May Have Overestimated The Value Of Kaberle

    • from Steve Simmons ot the Toronto Sun, It?s just me, but I can?t understand why NHL teams such as Colorado, Atlanta, Tampa Bay and Dallas, with very little offence from their defence, aren?t lining up to take a run at Tomas Kaberle. The lack of staunch offers for Kaberle almost certainly means whatever the Leafs thought they would get for the defenceman is less than they will end up with. a few more hockey notes?

  • Give Kaberle Some Respect

    • from Mike Zeisberger of the Toronto Sun, There, among the top 10 point producers in the league, is Kaberle, who, as of yesterday, was tied for 10th with 20 points, best among NHL defencemen. ?It?s cool,? admitted the normally understated Kaberle about seeing his name among the Ovechkins and Thorntons. ?Cool? is a very applicable term when it comes to discussing Kaberle. On one hand, it describes his demeanour on the ice, always seemingly calm in the heat of battle. Unfort
