It's be long rumored ....
from Twitter:
Nick Kypreos:
Sportsnet's learned Kaberle has granted #Leafs permission to speak to 1 team only regarding potential trade. As of now that team is #Bruins
The Fourth Period:
Brian Burke goes on radio in Boston and confirms Leafs/Bruins are engaged in trade talks. Kaberle, anyone?
Just what we need, everyone ahead of us getting better.....
I hope PG doesn't miss the boat....

I'm not interested in Kaberle, but I do hope that PG addresses some needs.
Kaberle to Boston has been in the works for what now, 2 years?

I predict the deal will be Joe Colbourne and Boston own choice in 2011 draft, not the Leafs pick for Kaberle.

Reading Colborne's talent analysis, it reads like a young Thornton. www.hockeysfuture.com/prospects/joe_colborne |

Kypreos speculating Wheeler may be part of the puzzle.

Kypreos speculating Wheeler may be part of the puzzle. The Boston connection; Wheeler and Kessel. Why not? Brian Burke was on a Boston radio station earlier and apparently confirmed the two teams were talking about a trade. Cheers. |

That will be a late first round pick in a weak draft, doesn't mean as much as most years. Wheeler slightly more over a throw-in. Boston has a lot of chips to work with, all their picks and a good farm system. Maybe a Wheeler, #1 pick and a prospect like Ryan Spooner or a Hamil? |

Well, the Bruins did pick up Chris Kelly from Ottawa. One of the few key character guys on that roster.
I was talking to a Sens fan on this and he wasn't happy at all with this trade. A second rounder is a good pick; Boston could afford it and the Sens need it, but Kelly is pretty good, solid hockey player.
I'm hoping Gauthier pulls off something significant. I read on another site that he's interested in Weiss. Have to wait and see I guess.
Cheers.

I've been hearing that PG is looking to make a move before the deadline....two guys Ive heard was Neil and Kovalev. They figure that the asking price would be something like a 2nd and a 3rd. I think I would do that deal. |

O'brien out of Nashville continues to be a rumor. Apparently, Canadiens scouts are following Nashville around.
Kelly is a quiet, but solid, checking forward that can contribute a bit of offense from time to time.

Neil gives the grit that we are looking for. Kovy . . . I'd take him as a PP specialist . . . but admittedly, I have a blind spot for himI don't think AK 2 will be going back, though . . . Murray's after picks. |

A second rounder is a good pick; Boston could afford it and the Sens need it, but Kelly is pretty good, solid hockey player. it's a dark gloomy day in Ottawa . . . Fisher gone, Kelly gone, Phillips soon to be gone . . . all the character guys are gone or going and the Sens are left with Spezza and Kovy for leadership |

LeBrun: The impediment for Burke is Kaberle won't go just anywhere. Montreal, Boston, Tampa, Philadelphia, the New York Rangers ... not sure if Kaberle would OK a deal anywhere else. We'll see. But there's big-time pressure on Burke; he can't let Kaberle walk away for free July 1.

No guarantee that Spezza will be either. If they want to do a proper gut, trade him too. He's still a top center capable of a lot of points. He's one of only a few centers capable of scoring goals as well as setting them up. He's expensive, but I'd be calling teams like Coumbus. "What do you think about Spezza playing with your guy Nash?" We'd take Voracek, a first, and ... |

Maybe it is a three team trade. Bob McKenzie had on his twitter Ian White has been held out of the Hurricanes practice. White played his best hockey in Toronto. Leafs would welcome him back no doubt. White goes to Toronto to replace Kaberle if he is indeed headed to Boston.

Can't see it...he don't fit Boston. Seriously? The talk around the Bruins is that the transition and puck movement from the back end is seriously deficient. That and a real quarterback on the PP, which isn't Chara's natural game. Kaberle would fit perfectly in Boston. I think this deal is as good as done. There has been way too much talk and not just in the media. You have Burke and Chiarelli on the radio talking openly about this deal. It's kind of weird, but I don't remember ever hearing a Montreal GM talking out of school like that. I listened to Chiarelli this morning on the way to work actually asking the RADIO GUYS what the latest rumor was. |

White is UFA at the end of the season. realize that TO does it for a decent warm body, but the 'Canes need to get something out of it to make it work. |

Wouldn't it be hilarious, if after YEARS of Kaberle rumors, he ended up giving the finger to Burke, used his NTC and just left for nothing July first......
then he signs in Montreal for a descent salary to play with his buddy Plekanec, and gives it to the Leafs 6 time/year.....
Ok, I need to wake-up now....
