Leafs trade Tomas Kaberle to Bruins

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Bob McKenzie reports the Leafs have formally asked Tomas Kaberle to waive his no-trade clause in order to trade him to the Boston Bruins. McKenzie believes the Leafs would get prospect Joe Colborne and Boston's 2011 1st round pick, though not confirmed.

EDIT: Trade goes down as follows....

TO BOSTON: Tomas Kaberle

TO TORONTO: Joe Colborne, 2011 1st round pick (BOS), conditional 2012 2nd round pick

Surprising he hasn't said yes or no to this already... It's been rumored for a while now.

Peter Chiarelli owns Brian Burke. Gets 2 1sts and a 2nd for Kessel, and now is only giving a late 1st rounder, a prospect and a conditional draft pick for Kaberle. If Fisher goes for a 1st and a 3rd, Kaberle is worth more then this imo.

Difference is Fisher is signed for two more years and Kaberle is a rental.

People have been shouting for two years now that the Leafs couldn't get a 1st rounder for Kaberle, and they did.

It's because Fisher's not a UFA after this season.

Anyway, glad this whole thing is over. So sick of hearing about it.

@Darrendreger

Deal reported stands, pending trade call. Not a bad 3 weeks for Leafs. Two 1st rnders, prospects Colborne and Gardiner and NHLer Lupul.

...

It's believed the Bruins are arranging trade call.

Sounds like a done deal.

and some.

McKenzie reporting that no talks between Boston & Kaberle have occurred.

So if they plan to keep him, they still need to resign him.

Darren Dreger: Bruins trading Blake Wheeler (not to Toronto) to clear cap space for deal.

bah! I like Wheeler on Boston's roster.

So when the Bruins win The Cup, does Burke get a spot in the parade?

Good deal for the Leafs. Colborne was drafted 16th overall in 08. His stock hasn't risen since then but he's still a 6'5 kid who was a point per game player in college and has plenty of time to continue developing.

Add in a 2011 1st round pick and the Leafs got more for Kaberle then most expected they would. Don't forget that everyone knows the Leafs want to dump Kaberle and this hasn't been his best season.
