Agreed with both of you. Even in my rant about how he fucked up this pick on my blog, I still made mention of the fact that I generally in his corner.

I mean, at least he isn't Milbury, Sather, or Gainey :p

Hmm, interesting. Given their tabloid nature, I expected it to be them.

"BURKE EXPECTING BEST OFFERS FOR KABERLE TO COME AT LAST MINUTE" as per TSN.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=330374

I disagree, the longer you hold onto something valuable, the bigger chance that people won't bother to deal with you because they will find something else (Right Darcy?).

Someone started a rumor Dustin Brown got traded for Kaberle straight-up. Wow, what a ridiculous blunder that would've been.

On who's part? I would take Brown over a soft Euro D-man any day of the week. Kaberle is no different than Spacek except he can keep the puk in the zone a little better on the PP than Spacek could. They both suck at defense--scoring a goal doesn't do a team any good when they account for 2 going the other way.

Blunder on Lombardi's part. Burke would've made out like a bandit. But, the rumor is bullshit and rightfully so.

I'm so sick of Karerle. It's been nothing but Kaberle talk ever since, well, since all the Sundin talk. Fuck I hate the Leafs. :doh:

What are the four biggest stories about the Maple Leafs since the lockout ended? The Leafs are fucking terrible, Sundin splits, Kaberle could be traded ANY DAY NOW ZOMG, and Burke overpaid for the One-Nut Wonder. :lol:

To be fair, Kessel scored 30 goals this year basically by himself.

Looks like the second coming of Christ (Kaberle) is staying put.

Ovechkin, Jesus, The Grand Canyon for Kaberle? Come on. That's not enough!

For those who really didn't see this coming. Burke was never interested in selling kaberle...

Wasn't Burke supposed to clean up drama on the Leafs, not start it?

Burke didn't do anything that Fletcher or JFJ didn't do when they were GM.

Kaberle trade rumors have been a staple every summer since Pat Quinn was their GM.

Burke just wants attention. Ever notice how he says stuff and the media gobbles it up, then so many people comment on it? The guy should spend less time saying the Leafs will make the playoffs and more time making it a reality.

The relevant ship sailed away from Leaf land about 6 years ago, and Burke is doing anything in his power to stay aboard..

Anyone else think it's colossally stupid to demand a king's ransom for a guy that'll be UFA in 11 months. He's either a blowhard looking for attention, of he's fucking delusional. Either way, we'll be looking down at them again in the standings...
