Also, Burke has stated that the price for Kaberle alone is a first and a prospect or a player that can play in the top-six now. <br /><br />Kaberle would probably be a better fit on a team that's a bit closer to winning than Carolina is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610527122550067891.post-74903361704838609322010-05-15T15:35:52.816-04:002010-05-15T15:35:52.816-04:00I dont know why noone is talking about this, there...I dont know why noone is talking about this, there is the potential for a big deal to be worked out with carolina over the draft, there Defence is crap at best and 2 are ufa's. so hows this deal, Kaberle and Grabo (or someone like him? Stalberg?) for Carolina's first round pick and a prospect or 4/5 rounder? its a good deal for both teams because carolina is young and has a lot of developing talent and can forgo the draft pick cuz of the void kabrele would fill for them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610527122550067891.post-54307763275465915722010-05-14T12:03:42.480-04:002010-05-14T12:03:42.480-04:00GMs don't typically trade guys that are only o...GMs don't typically trade guys that are only one year into their free agent contracts. The reasoning is that doing so can sometimes act as a deterent to future free agents (ie. Do I really want to sign here and then possibly get traded to Edmonton?). <br /><br />My guess is that both guys are still Leafs until at least next summer. At that point, who knows.Curt Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817914669452185454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610527122550067891.post-86779512118626321552010-05-14T11:37:45.271-04:002010-05-14T11:37:45.271-04:00Beauch or Komi are goners this summer for some hel...Beauch or Komi are goners this summer for some help up front.

Theres a reason he and nonis are stocking the cupboards with talent -- he's going to parlay the prospects into some solid players and the lineup is not going to look like what you have up there for either yearAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610527122550067891.post-83777860081708588292010-05-14T10:37:39.474-04:002010-05-14T10:37:39.474-04:00I couldn't agree more.

It's also tough to say who will re-sign with their teams before getting to free-agency and how our young players will develop. <br /><br />This was a complete shot in the dark - I was just curious at who was potentially available and what the likely cap implications are for our team during that offseason (which in my opinion will be the most important of Burke's tenure).Curt Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10817914669452185454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2610527122550067891.post-88607866258148166332010-05-14T10:11:18.403-04:002010-05-14T10:11:18.403-04:00I'm going to assume that at minimum at least t...I'm going to assume that at minimum at least two of DiDomenico, Stalberg, Hanson, Caputi, Hayes, Champagne, D'Amigo, Holzer, Slaney, Blacker, Aulie or Irwin solidify a position on this team before July 2011 but my guess is we'll see at least 4 of them on the roster this season. There is still a lot of work to do in figuring out what Toronto has right now, I think it's a task and a half to start guessing what the line-up will be end of next year and which UFA's Burke might target. <br /><br />I would also assume Burke signs at least one forward out of this summers UFA market (fingers crossed it's Aaron Asham), and I'll bet he trades Thomas Kaberle for a top-6 forward and if that fails he might extend his contract.<br /><br />I would wager that if you do this exercise again in September it will have changed. By December it will be completely different!The Muppetnoreply@blogger.com
