It's official: Tomas Kaberle headed to Boston
The Tomas Kaberle era, after several scuttled past departures, is officially over in Toronto. And the Maple Leafs’ rebuild continues with yet another significant trade.
The Leafs today sent Kaberle — yes, he agreed to waive his no-trade deal — to Boston for prospect Joe Colborne, a 6-foot-5 centre with Boston’s AHL farm team at Providence, a 2011 first-round draft pick (but not the one Toronto sent to Boston in the Phil Kessel trade) and a conditional pick, thought to be a second-round pick in 2012 if Kaberle resigns with the Bruins or if Boston makes the Stanley Cup final this season.
Colborne was drafted in the first round by Boston, 16th overall, in the 2008 draft. Although he is a towering presence, the 21-year-old isn’t known to be particularly tough. In 55 games with Providence this season, he has 12 goals and 14 assists for 26 points along with 35 penalty minutes. It is believed that he could be ready to play in the NHL next season.
Kaberle, a sublime passer and terrific puck mover, will immediately help Boston’s power play teamed with Zdeno Chara on the point. Kaberle played 12 distinguished seasons in Toronto and had resisted previous attempts to deal him out of town.
However, he told Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos that “it was just time to move on” and he was “excited” to be going to Boston.
The soon-to-be 33-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
In just over a week, Toronto general manager Brian Burke has traded defenceman Francois Beauchemin, winger Kris Versteeg and now Kaberle. In those deals, he has acquired two late first round picks, a third-round pick, a potential second-round pick, two highly regarded prospects in defenceman Jake Gardiner and Colborne, and winger Joffrey Lupul.
While everyone thought this deal was coming — particularly after Kaberle opened the door to move to Boston on Tuesday — some of his teammates still had a little trouble digesting the move of a favourite teammate. Particularly 21-year-old Luke Schenn, who was Kaberle’s defensive partner and becomes the longest-serving Leaf along with Nikolai Kulemin and Mikhail Grabovski.
All three are finishing their third season in Toronto, Kulemin has played 208 games, Schenn has played 206.
Schenn called Kaberle a “rare” talent.
“The patience that he has, his passing ability and his vision on the ice, it is rare to find,” said Schenn. “I don’t know if you can necessarily say you’re going to replace a guy. I guess moving forward, management has a plan in place and that’s not for us to talk about. We’ve got a bunch of young guys and it seems like we are starting to come together a little bit and piece together. Hopefully our future is a little brighter.”
With Kaberle gone, defencemen such as Carl Gunnarsson and Brett Lebda will be asked to step up and do more. Both are, by reputation, good with the puck but both have struggled this season. Kaberle had 38 points, tops among Toronto blueliners. From there it drops to the 15 points of Dion Phaneuf and Schenn’s 13.
Gunnarsson said it would be “impossible” to replace Kaberle’s production.
“It’s tough,” he said. “I don’t even know how many points he’s got but it’s a lot if compare it to the next D-man. (He had) a lot of points and a lot of confidence on the point on the power play too. That’s probably the toughest thing to replace.”
“I’d like to (become more offensive),” said Gunnarsson, who has three goals and nine points. “But this year I’ve had to work on my defence too because that hasn’t been working for me. Once I get that going, my offence has been better. I will get better at it.”
Said Schenn: “It’s been a longtime coming. (The Kaberle) trade has been talked about since I’ve been here for three years ago. It’s obviously a tough decision to make for him. But, I guess, moving forward he wants to go to a contender. It’s tough for me. He’s been good for me.”
“Getting the chance to play alongside (Kaberle) has been great for me. He’s so calm out there. He never panics under pressure. In my opinion, he’s one of the best at making that outlet pass, that breakout pass. I’m very lucky to have played along side him. He’s been awesome to me. Great guy off the ice; always pulled me aside and talked to me. He’s always there for you.”

| http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=354423 Quote: The Carolina Hurricanes have traded defenceman Ian White to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for a 2012 second round draft pick.
In a seperate transaction, the Hurricanes acquired defenceman Derek Joslin from the Sharks in exchange for future considerations.
White was a healthy scratch for Wednesday's 3-2 loss in New Jersey and watched the game from the press level, fueling speculation the 26-year-old was on the move. He now joins his fourth club over five seasons in the National Hockey League.
"We've been very confident in Brett Carson's play with the Hurricanes this season, and that has given us the opportunity to make today's trade," said president and general manager Jim Rutherford. "This move gives us some flexibility going forward, and we thank Ian for his service to the Hurricanes this season."
The Manitoba native played 39 games for the Hurricanes since being traded by the Calgary Flames in November, posting 10 assists in his effort. White has two goals, 16 points and is a minus-6 rating in 55 games.
Drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the sixth round (191st overall) of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft, White spent four-and-a-half seasons in Toronto before being part of the trade for defenceman Dion Phaneuf.
In 378 NHL games, White has compiled 34 goals and 99 assists.
The 23-year-old Joslin has played 17 games with the Sharks this season, totaling one goal and three assists with eight penalty minutes. The Richmond Hill, Ont., native is in his third NHL season and has totaled one goal and six assists and 26 penalty minutes in 53 career NHL games, all with San Jose.
"Derek is a young defenceman who will add depth to our organization," said Rutherford. "He shows a good skill level and plays a solid two-way game."
| Done deal

I think Burke is secretly working for the bruins | I think it's pretty obvious? They're giving them the worse 1st round draft pick instead of giving back Toronto's own 1st round pick... because Toronto's original 1st round pick would probably end up pretty near the top, but Boston's 1st round draft pick is probably near the end...

Not sure if this has been posted before but Quote: CANUCKS LOSE BLUELINER BIEKSA FOR UP TO THREE WEEKS
The nightmare of injuries continue for the Vancouver Canucks as defenceman Kevin Bieksa will miss approximately three weeks of action with a fractured bone in his foot.
Bieksa injured his foot while blocking a slap shot in Vancouver's 4-1 win against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday and now joins a long list of walking wounded on the Canucks blueline.
On Thursday, he said X-rays came back negative before a CT scan showed a smaller crack in the bone. He will be re-evaluated when the team returns to Vancouver.
"It was one of those things where I knew (something was wrong). We get hit in the foot probably thousands of times by pucks and you kind of have a feeling when something's wrong," Bieksa said. "It didn't feel like the usual shot that hurt."
Bieksa joins Andrew Alberts (wrist), Dan Hamhuis (concussion), Keith Ballard (sprained right knee), Lee Sweatt (broken foot) and Alexander Edler (back surgery) on the injury list; Alberts requiring surgery after breaking his wrist in Monday's loss to the Blues and is expected to be out 6-8 weeks.
"I'm very disappointed but it's one of those things that you can't control," said Bieksa. "It's part of the game and it's unfortunate with the sting of luck were having here, especially on the back end. I'm not going to sulk for too long and will try and stay in the best shape I can so that when my foot heals I can jump back in."
The 29-year-old has six goals and 13 assists with a plus-26 rating in 57 games.
The Canucks called up Evan Oberg of the AHL's Manitoba Moose and will join the Canucks in Nashville for tonight's game against the Predators.
| Bieksa to be out at least 3 weeks

The Muskoka 5 era finally comes to an end. Kaberle in anything but Leafs blue will take some getting used to. I'm not going to be a homer and say Kaberle sucks now because he's on a different team. I would be happy to have him stay with the leafs for his entire career but he only has a limited time to win a cup and the leafs aren't even close to that point yet. I think this trade benefits both teams equally at this point.
tidbit: The only player remaining on the Leafs who was there 3 years ago is Darryl Boyce and he only made a 1 game appearance back then.

Honestly, I don't really care about a lot of the trades, especially ones in the East. We really don't have to worry about them til the playoffs anyways. And by then our guys should be in proper form.
It's doubtful we're going to make any moves unless they involve picks or forwards for d-men, maybe a tougher grinder in the bottom 6. The boys are confident and should be getting back to form when the top D men start coming back next week.
