so...the subtitle to this thread again...

 

I awoke this morning to 4 pages of new material in this thread. Thought the entire league had turned over.

Maybe a mod can move the posts over to the other trade thread?

How does this make sense for Toronto?

 

Brian Burke has either lost it, or, has something up his sleeve.

 

For two years he's been saying the next 2 draft classes are weak and picks won't mean too much. And even last week he said something to the effect of "July 1st is our draft" saying they need to improve now on prospects, young players for the future, again, hinting the June draft won't mean much. Now, he's trading a guy for 2 picks. Very odd. Whatever floats his boat though.

I guess that moves Carcillo to the fourth line in Philly.

 

Versteeg for a #30 and #130 pick or there-bouts. I guess Burke thought they needed to get back into the first round this year.

Burke is like Kryptonite to the Leafs roster. I have to really wonder how much longer Leaf Nation can take this guy.

 

He hasn't done anything to improve the team since his arrival. Very strange, but hey, thank god I'm not a Leafs fan. :thumbsup:

I don't think Burke is done yet. Those picks aren't sticking around.

Bobby Mac is reporting that both the Flyers and the Leafs aren't done yet. Good call, looks like they both have some moves on the board to make yet.

I think Philly will get a goaltender.

 

 

They are loaded at Forward.

I heard just a few days ago they held discussions about Steve Mason from Columbus. And, RJ Umburger was asked to give an evaluation about several players on the Flyers. Doubt they could swing a deal without the pick and not sure why their GM is asking Umburger for assistance, i can't imagine that happens everywhere.

Not sure who this guy is, still checking on reliability soooooo........

Kaberle Has WAIVED HIS NTC deal getting done 24-72HRS (Still working on the team he said Yes to) but he will be moved

 

Kaberle has informed Burke he will waive his NTC #Leafs #NHL deal is being worked on could be completed in 24-72HRS

 

Like I said, still looking at this cats background

Toronto trades Kris Versteeg to Philly for 2 picks, including a first rounder. Per TSN

 

Appears to be a 1st and 3rd.

 

I hate Philadelphia.

Leafs fans are saying incarcerated bob is a solid source.

 

Speculation running rampant on multiple Leafs boards now as to where Kaberle is going (nothing new really), but apparently this source is as solid as can be.

I'll wait to see what transpires, but Burke has been a busy little bee across the lake over there.

 

Anyone heard a peep on Darcy doing anything or are we still in the :yawn: mode until Pegula takes over?

got this from Creasy twitter and incarcenatedbob on twitter as well. Both really good sources!

 

Tomas Kaberle has informed Burke that he would lift his NTC for a few teams. Montreal, Boston, Rangers is all i have heard so far.

 

Deal should get completed in 24H - 72H

I guess I am contractually obligated to ask this. Is this a trade the Sabres should have made?

 

Dunno about that. He's not a great scorer (he is decent, but that's all), and this team has plenty of checking forwards and two-way guys. I like his game, but there are other Chicago alums that I'd rather see here. A first and a third is a little heavy for him, IMO, especially for a team that probably isn't making the finals this year. I think Versteeg is under contract through 2012, but I don't think too many here would have been that happy with him--especially given the trade cost. I think Toronto did well here, actually. It wasn't a fleecing, but Toronto got a good return.

 

I still hate Philadelphia.

Keep it to actual trades, please. If it happens, by all means, post and/or comment on it. Thanks.
