CarpathianForest Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 So it can't get any worse especially on defense. The Leafs are 1-5-1 in their last 7 and they are having trouble scoring. Is this the time that Lou puts an offer on the table for Kaberle? Perhaps Langs/Clarkson for Kab + ? Are things even harder now that Parise is out. We all thought we could make some defensive improvements but our offense is starting to take a hit with Rolston, Parise and Josefson out. What to do what to do?

ThreeCups Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I wouldn't mind sending Lags outta town, but want to see a little more to see if Clarkson can actually produce. I always liked him because of his hustle and physicality, last year he was looking like a monster before he went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxchaznjxx Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 i don't know that kaberle is the answer to the devils scoring problems. if TOR is having a problem scoring goals with him, what makes people think he'll automatically make us a better scoring team?

njdevil26 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Anyone have ESPN insider? They are running an article that the Devils are looking at Kaberle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Great spot we're in. We need to fill gaps because of injuries but our hands are tied due to the cap. Way to go!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 PHAN_HOOOOOOOF!!!! Thanks for the clarification. I was wondering why the Devils wanted to acquire the guy who sang "The Wanderer" and "Runaround Sue." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E. Pennypacker Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Anyone have ESPN insider? They are running an article that the Devils are looking at Kaberle. he New Jersey Devils lost Zach Parise for three months, which means his $3.125 million cap hit won't count for that period. Meanwhile, the Newark Star-Ledger's Rich Chere tweets that Brian Rolston is close to practicing with the team, which might mean he's close to returning. So in that exchange, Rolston's $5.062 million cap hit is about $2 million more than Parise's, which mean the Devils will have to make move to get under the cap, even with Parise off the books. In addition, Bryce Salvador is out, but his return will also push the Devils to make a move. Guys like Dainius Zubrus, Colin White, Jamie Langebrunner, Patrik Elias and David Clarkson have been mentioned as potential trade candidates, but we haven't heard of any rumored deals thus far. However, there was a report that the Devils wanted to trade for Leafs blueliner Tomas Kaberle, so perhaps the Leafs are looking to add a defenseman in any deal they make. Or, given the dire state of their season, they could just seek draft picks in return. the guy who writes the article doesn't know what he is talking about. rolston cap hit when he comes back is no longer 5 million dollars because of the time he spent on LTIR. at least i think so but i could be wrong.

overtime98 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Devils getting Kaberle would suck. he is an over rated defenseman. imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrydevil Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Devils getting Kaberle would suck. he is an over rated defenseman. imo Yeah, but at least he's rated! But I don't think this is a wise trade at this point. I have a hard time believing that getting him will be a big step in solving this team's problems.

Triumph Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 getting kaberle would be a hugely awful move. he's not that good and his salary is too high given what the devils would have to do to fit it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.E. Pennypacker Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 ian white would be the better fit and is cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) I don't think Kaberle solves everything that is wrong with this team, and the price will be too high because his trade value in the minds of people affiliated with TOR is way out of control.

DevilinLA Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 If we trade Elias, I will lead the hitsquad on LL $6M for fond memories? What's he doing nowadays? He has the center he's always wanted.... I say if we can unload him for some smart upgrades now is the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say if we can unload him for some smart upgrades now is the time. He is a huge part of the franchise. What is ANYONE on the Devils "doing nowadays"? We probably couldn't get anything significant in return for him anyway. Patty will hopefully be a lifer Sign me up for the crowd that wouldn't cry immensely if Elias was traded. Wow, rough crowd.

Daniel Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 getting kaberle would be a hugely awful move. he's not that good and his salary is too high given what the devils would have to do to fit it in. All depends what's going the other way. If it's Clarkson plus another player that won't be back next year anyway than it's fine. At this point, we can't sink any deeper, so why not give it a shot. And it would be good to get rid of Clarkson's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but you can't realistically things are going to turn around at this point. This team is just stinking awful. Hopefully it's one of those Canes/Buffalo type seasons where there's dramatic improvement the following year, with a nice draft pick in the interim.

CarpathianForest Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah, the Devils should be able to get SOMETHING for him in a trade. Getting rid of Zubrus should be off the table considering the way he's been playing. The only reason Lou would cut him loose is for financial issues and that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
