Yardbarker: Tomas Kaberle

Nov. 5 Rumours!

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:19:00 -0500

We start in Tampa Bay, where a team with so much talent continues to struggle. Alex Tanguay, where are you? Several sources tell me that Vinny could be dealt sometime in the new year, though the trade deadline makes the most sense. The usual (Montreal, NYR) seem to the be teams most rumoured. The Blackhawks definitely do have interest in Toronto d-man Tomas Kaberle, and Toronto is listening. A package would include some of Barker, Seabrook, Versteeg, Sharp and a draft pick. I'd say two of...

We all know that the Magic Window has now passed for Tomas Kaberle's no-trade clause, but I wouldn't out a ton of stock in that. Brian Burke has definitely settled on the fact that Kaberle is part of a top 4 in Toronto that he told me he was very excited about... But I also left with two other certainties.. #1 Kaberle would still agree to go to a team in the East if they asked him to. #2 Ever...

Did the Bruins just clear room for the Kaberle-Kessel deal?

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 18:37:23 -0500

Howdy from Ottawa. Warning** this does not contain much Sens-related information. As I wrote today the Bruins and Hurricanes made a deal today which sent D Aaron Ward from Boston back to Carolinam in exchange for F Patrick Eaves, whom the Bruins then put on waivers so they could buy-out Patrick's contract. This leaves the Bruins with an opening on defense and some cap space. Not enough space to make F Phil Kessel a long-term deal but enough to facilitate a trade with Brian Burke and th...

Jason Blake scores hat trick.

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:37:48 -0500

Jason Blake has had a hell of a time since he showed up in Toronto last season, he signed a huge contract and scored 15 goals for the season, the fans in Toronto were not happy. I read the Toronto Star sports page on a semi regular basis and the fans in Toronto are huge Jason Blake fans. I just hope they took into account that Blake had cancer last season, from reading some of the comments posted by fans it appears that they didn't. Last night Blake had a hat trick (2nd goal) and (3rd goal). Lastly, its nice to see Blake get the best of his former coach.

Suddenly a Leaf team that was poised to snap a four-game losing skid plunged back into the miserable hockey it had so desperately tried to erase.

On the bench, though, there was no letdown. Every player kept supporting the guy sitting beside him, right through the worst of it. Then Tomas Kaberle cranked home the game-winner on a power play.

Blake notched an empty-netter to complete his hat trick. That goal also bent the spotlight back toward him, and to the issues that have surrounded his time in Toronto.

The point was raised last night that he is a "different" player than he was last season, when he signed a five-year, $20 million (U.S.) free-agent deal, but followed up a 40-goal season in 2006-07 with just 15 under then-coach Paul Maurice.

He now has 13 goals ? tied for second on the team ? but admits that he was the problem, not Maurice.

Training camp was not quite over in September 2007 when Blake stunned the hockey world with news that he had been diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. With the aid of a super pill, he would play through the ailment, but it was clear he wasn't the high-scoring winger the Leafs had hoped for. (Read the whole story here)

Report: Kaberle to Flyers "Heating Up"

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 12:29:29 -0500

Now that the injury-plagued Flyers know that Peter Forsberg isn't returning this year, they are looking into other ways to improve their club. The Ottawa Sun reports that the Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs are discussing a possible deal that would send Tomas Kaberle to Philly. There is no word on what the Flyers would be giving up to get the speedy defender. The only problem is Kaberle has a no-trade clause, and he has said in the past that he has no intention of waiving it.

Kaberle returns, hopes Janssen doesn't shoot the messenger

Tue, 20 Mar 2007 12:35:40 -0500

Kaberle returns tonight when the Leafs play the Devils. Will the Leafs go after Cam Janssen? No, the Leafs don't have anyone capable of taking Cam Janssen on. Both Belak and Tucker have lost fights to Janssen already this season. If there is an attempt to send a message to the Devils, expect Janssen to shoot the messenger.
