Well, a day after the Globe & Mail article, TSN cracks out this bomb... the Leafs got a major offer for Tomas Kaberle. TSN assumes it's from a team that got shut out of the Bouwmeester rights deal, but it could have just of easily come from a team that needs a solid D man. What does Burke want? To trade up. Were NYI, Tampa Bay, Colorado, and the Kings involved with J-BO talks? Not that I have heard of. Frankly, the idea that the Thrashers tossed out this idea is just as plausible, if not more so, than a team who had a deal fall through with Florida.
Beats me if this is true, but it's veeery eeenteresting...

I'm really quite torn on this one. I've always liked Kaberle, and he is really good, but...is he really worth the #4? I think probably not.
If this is the only way that DW thinks he can land that top-4 D-man that he says he wants, this might be our best chance, though. I don't think that the FA market's going to turn us down as badly as last season, though... at least we have a coach now! :D
And, well, if a big d-man turns us down, we shouldn't be upset. Campbell turned us down, and I'm glad we're not stuck with his bloated deal and underproduction.
kaberle might be too ofensive-y. with the point production we've got back there already, kubina would be a much more attractive option. and NTCs are less frequent in d-man contracts - that's always a big help for the thrashers. :)
