If I'm the Leafs I'm not dealing him for anything less then a young top 6 forward (preferrably Center), maybe someone around the age of 23-26, and a 1st Rounder in 2009 or 2010.
Anything less and he's better off keeping unitl his UFA year.
Makes perfect sense.
Why would Burke be in a rush to deal him anyway? Quality, just in his prime, relatively cheap. You build around his type, not dispense him, at least not hastily.
If Phoenix threw a first and Tikhonov (which they won't), I would have no remorse at all in sending Kaberle and another (much lesser) piece their way. Phoenix looks to be seeing another top 15 pick, though, so can't see it either way.

This would be a very fair trade, but will only come to fruition if the Coyotes are going to the playoffs, or are in serious contention for a spot. The Coyotes could use a puck moving defenceman of Kaberle's skillset to go along with the likes of Jovanovski, Michalek and Morris, though I could see them looking for more of a defensive stalwart. They would love to have a guy like Kaberle, especially at his fairly inexpensive salary. They also have young talent coming out of their ears, so they could lose a good prospect and draft pick, and really not lose much.
I could see this :
TO PHX :
Tomas Kaberle
TO TOR :
2009 1st Round Pick
Brett Maclean
Daniel Carcillo
Maclean is a Burke type player, Canadian, looks like he could be a very good top six winger if developed properly, and has been playing with the Generals so is a bit of a hometown kid. Carcillo is a young third/fourth line player, again fits the Burke mold well of a guy who is willing to do the dirty work, and plays with some real sandpaper, and can drop the gloves.
With the Coyotes already having the likes of Peter Mueller, Kyle Turris, Mikkel Boedker, Viktor Tikhonov, Enver Lisin, and Martin Hanzal, they have a young core of forwards and could lose one without a huge amount of heartache.
All falls in the line of the 1st rounder, good prospect, and a bottom 6 forward.

Yes, he was - played with Tavares and Dale Mitchell in 06-07, then they took Mitchell off their line for 07-08 and he still produced like crazy, even had more points than Tavares. This season he has something like 15 points in 9 games, and is again one of the offensive leaders for the Generals. Will be interesting to see what happens when they trade Tavares.

The Leafs Have Dale Mitchell already i believe, and if this deal went through wed have maclean then we could draft tavares wouldent that be something?

Yup, our 3rd round pick in 2007. It would certainly be an interesting thing to have all 3 of them together... and the funny thing is they would all be, projectedly, ready for the NHL at roughly the same time, within 2-3 seasons of each other.

It's a good proposal, but Toronto isn't getting anyone back who is proven. I'd say Toronto should add either Poni or White and get a Hanzel back in the deal as well. We need someone who is somewhat established with upside as well.
To Toronto: David Clarkson, Nick Palmieri and 2009 1st round pick.
To New Jersey: Tomas Kaberle
Toronto gets native son, David Clarkson. A burke type player. Can score, hit and fight. They also add power forward prospect Palmieri, who could become a top 6 "Burke type" scorer. Essentially a Penner-type.
Wont happen, Lou wont make a trade. Intrguing none-the-less.

I think Toronto has a surplus of third liners so Clarkson isnt a guy the Leafs really need.
I counter the offer :
Mattias Tedenby + Alexander Vasyunov
for
Tomas Kaberle
New Jersey requires a puck moving defenseman, so a Mattias Tedenby would have to be involved in any trade discussion.
Probably a little much for Kabs.
