You're such a homer. Carter's a very solid up and comer and a 1st round pick is an excellent asset. The package for Kaberle isn't bad at all IMO. I'd do it and I'm fine that some Leafs fans disagree, but not even close? Come on man, get a grip.
It is a good offer. Carter has 17 goals. That's a really strong stat for such a young player that is developing every day. Phili's pick isn't that great a position. I'd rather take Picard+Parent than the pick. But, Leasty, it isn't a bad offer. You overrate all of our players.

I agree man. Some are saying that Kaberle could fetch more than Sundin because he isn't a rental player. Well, they are kind of forgetting that Kaberle isn't in the same league as a player like Sundin.
like hell it does, why didnt the Flyers trade Gange last year then, you dont trade away a top notch player making below market value who can be a cornerstone of your organization for hte next 5+ years because he can get you lots of picks/propects.
Because they had Richards, Carter etc. allready in their system. Toronto does not have that luxery. This is not going to be a 1 year rebuild like Philly

This is why you don't have a job in hockey. If anything it's an overpay from Philly. The overrating of Kabs on the Toronto side is sickening, he is not a difference maker

Bingo, comparing Kaberle to Sundin is frankly offensive

I love your opinions generally Steve, but we both know Philly would have a very large intrest in Kaberle. Even if Toronto has to take a bad contract for a year or 2 to even out salaries they should do it.
Carter is a future 70 point player while the first will definetly add some depth to our prospect department. Kubina/McCabe should easily hold the line and Stralman will slowly replace Kaberle.
Good deal for the Leafs, but I have no idea why the Flyers do it.
The problem with the deal isn't value as I'd probably do it from a Flyers POV, but it fills a hole by creating another, which is sorta pointless.
Flyers need to trade from the wings to fill the holes of their D, where they've got plenty of depth.

Good, atleast we have some common grounds from both sides, the proposal won't be happening anytime soon so moving on
I would imagine that Kaberle would be of huge interest to Holmgren, but it gets very sticky with the cap. I would reluctantly flip Carter and a little more for Kaberle if the leafs were able to take on dead weight salary (Hatcher, Knuble)

I really respect your opinions, but I just don't see how this balances out in terms of rebuilding. He's an impending RFA, and we only get one first round pick. If you really think he's worth swapping Kaberle for, we're probably gonna have to spend a chunk of money to keep him.
This is why the Leafs can't rebuild. That's a pretty fair trade from the perspective of the Flyers are probably only 1-2 years from being their peak, and the Leafs have no peak in sight, and are at least 3-5 seasons from being a real contender.
Kaberle isn't having as bad a year as you might think. He's been missing McCabe, one of the most productive offensive defensemen in the league, and what's happened to the leafs PowerPlay? Defensemen usually get their points from those situations.
That is a good return but it would take more. Something like Carter, Giroux, 1st/2nd or Carter, Parent, Picard, 1st/2nd.
Man I have to save this post for one of those McCabe bashing threads that keep popping up each year. The way some fans put it, the only reason that McCabe ever scores is because of the perfect passes that he gets from Kabs...
I agree with you totally btw, they work best when they are togeather, excellent 1-2 punch on the PP.
I would certainly consider Carter for Kaberle straight up, and then I'd probably turn it down. Pretty even in value. Adding the first would be overpayment.
Carter is 6'3, 200lbs, just turned 23, is on pace for 30+ goals FROM THE THIRD LINE and 2ND POWER PLAY UNIT, playing with a constantly changing set of wingers. He can fly, has an absolutely wicked shot, and has developed a nice forechecking game to go along with an impressively evolving defensive game. His one area of weakness, is his inability to properly utilize his wingers. He should probably be a winger himself.
As much as I like Kaberle as a player - and I do like him, he can't help it he's playing on an a really bad hockey team - I have a hard time giving up all that Carter brings to the table.
I am personally convinced Carter will eventually reach consistent 40-50 goal campaigns within a few years.

Sell me on this if you can?
I am scratching my head over this as well.
Leafs can get better offers from other teams that should be interested in giving something to the Leafs for T. Kaberle other then an impending RFA that everyone here is saying is a "70 point player."
