Continuation from mf37's point
Just as all the talk about trading Toskala is a non-starter, Kaberle’s value is dropping faster than the TSE right now. No way Kabby is traded before the deadline.
We can’t trade him anyways, he has a no trade clause and is a fucking douchebag.

I don't know
I’ve known some douchebags in my time. Are you sure he just doesn’t suck at the hockey right now? Does that really qualify him for douchebag status?
"Hootenanny? Well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny"
I think the question we need to be asking isn’t how long should Kabs sit, it’s what do the Leafs have to do to optimize his value.
Or maybe it’s how could a movie with a lesbian sub-plot involving Penelope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson be so bad?

So, guess I missed an awesome game
Wha happened? Why did the suck return?
"Hootenanny? Well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny"
3-3 after 2, pretty evenly matched.
6-3 after 3, Leafs had maybe 3 shots in the final frame. Kaberle played about six minutes and was on for 4 goals against.

Believe it or not, I never played organized hockey as a kid. Took power skating and played tons of street and pond hockey.
My first year of hockey was when I was 16 or 17 and I joined a full-contact men’s league. I learned very quickly. Played through university and have been on assorted men’s teams ever since…I think that’s why I’m so crazy for the game – I didn’t have the love of hockey crushed out of me at an early age.

Well, the ‘Yotes aren’t a horrid team. But yes, the Leafs absolutely lacked the energy and passion tonight.

Um, no, I don’t think so. Again, you ain’t gonna find me in the wilds of Canada, so I think I’ll keep em. Plus, I already spent your lunch money on booze. Having watched the Leafs play tonight, I think you can agree I’ll need it.
But congrats on the win. We appreciate you helping us in our quest for a high draft pick.

$4.25 million dollar question – can the coaches and Kabs turn it around?
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
To be honest I’m not sure it matters. If Kaberle refuses to waive his NTC and walks like Sundin did…
Remember he already torpedoed the Jeff Carter deal.

how solid was the Jeff Carter deal? Is there a source beyond Bruce Garrioch for that rumour?
And if Steve Simmons is to be believed, Kabs is on the cusp of waiving his NTC…
We should also check to see if it reopens this summer when the Leafs miss the playoffs again.

Also I believe the deal, Philly desperately wanted a puck moving defender. The Philly media was going nuts about the deal, hoping Kaberle would waive.

It does
This is the first summer it opens for Kaberle though. Kubina’s re-opens after this season.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
But Kaberle didn’t waive because he assumed the other guys would stick around. Now there isn’t any guarantees Kaberle would do the same, but he might just be too disenfranchised to stick around anymore.
I really think he’s coiling severely at this role of leadership. More responsibility, as in default star player = Kaberle not in the background.
Kabs fails at life.

Wilson's primer
As per post-game interview from AM640:
Hendrick: Was benching Kaberle a message?
Wilson: Yeah, it was a message. Too bad he sent me a message back by being -4 tonight.
great byte
Kaberle sounds like he might be toast in this town
Big Smoke Sports - We Burn The Buds, Roll The Raps, and Smoke The Jays
Super, so not only do the Leafs not get Carter for Kaberle, they don’t get Kaberle for Kaberle.
Honestly without Kaberle’s puck moving Toronto’s defense starts to look plodding and slow without having guys who can throw big hits, ie. really shitty. Not that keeping Kaberle matters if he plays like he’s played the past month and a half.

Wilson should leave Kaberle on the ice for 60 minutes on Saturday night.

If tonight is anything to go by, Kabs would be a -16
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
Well, after hearing Wilson say that, I’m less confident that the coaches even want to deal with him right now. Kaberle, like Marleau before him, is not a type of player that seems like he responds favourably to Wilson’s tactics. I think his struggles right now are exacerbated by Wilson.
Marleau CLEARLY misses Ron Wilson’s tough love approach.

I like Andy Frost and respect his opinions but did he just say that the Leafs will probably get “a position player and a decent prospect (or draft pick)” – what the hell? I know fans overvalue their own players but that’s the worst possible return imo.
For who?
If he’s referring to Kaberle, the way he’s playing lately, the Leafs would be lucky to get a package like that right now.
Come on, that’s just a reactionary statement. He’s had a couple of bad games but only a few days ago Leaf fans were salivating about what Kaberle’s return could be. He’s going to net more than a positional player and a decent pick.
Well, if this was one game, true enough. But this has been a disturbing trend with Kaberle so far this season. You can’t tell me that Kaberle is at his highest trade value right now.
No I agree, he hasn’t been playing as well but I hope GM’s in the NHL don’t assess players based on 25 games and disregarding 6 or 7 years of career stats.
The fact that Raycroft got a contract suggests GMs don’t look at the past 100 games.
Bitter Leaf Fan: a life-long Toronto Maple Leafs fan comments on the team, the media and the exasperation...
Hahaha – all I’m saying is, we better get a good return because I don’t want to dislike Kaberle for screwing us over with yet another deal that could’ve added to the Leafs rebuild movement.

Wilson is nothing, if not direct. But he’s walking a fine line by calling out his players like this willy nilly.
you send him to the press box, you don’t embarrass him and have him sit on the bench freezing his czech ass off thinking about his future, and how he’s going to have to sell his house, and tell his wife to start packing.
fuckin bullshit
A Toronto sports blog, where we unequivocally and unapologetically support the home team...
If Kaberle gets traded within a couple days can we safely assume that every time Wilson calls out a player he’s a goner?
Not necessarily – White responded pretty well from his press box time. Blake has had his ups and downs. One could argue Stajan’s had a career year coming off some early season press box time.

Unlike the Habs PP, Grabovski has yet to disappear.

Lol habs need to let it go. They have worse luck than the Leafs when they ride a player out of town. Grabs, Ribeiro, Ryder?

No, seriously, make sure Grabovski finds his way to the team plane. Who knows what he likes to do in Phoenix that makes him lose his sense of direction.
Hockey blogging can't get any flatter.
Don't forget...
..the best one of all – John Leclair. Dude was wicked good on that Legion of Doom Line for a while and – just to drive the knife a little deeper – was absolutely awesome every time the Flyers rolled into Montreal. I loved that man for making Habs fans continuously eat their livers. Five straight 40 goal plus seasons, something like 350 goals scored after leaving the Habs.
