if kaberle doesn't sign a extension they move him to a contender at the trade dead line with a pre arranged 2 or 3 destinations and get the return unstead of a signed kaberle.

Kaberle, Reimer, and Grabovski serve no purpose to a rebuilding franchise and I would rather have Eberle and Seguin/Hall over Kadri and Schenn.
This make burke look like an idiot? Trade the 2nd overall and then completely gut everything that is worth something in a trade for the 1st overall when the 1st and 2nd are pretty much equal this year
what kind of changes would make the trade closer from the leafs side
Toronto doesn't have enough prospects of high calibre to pry both from Edmonton. It would likely take Kadri/Schenn/+ to just get the top pick. The Oilers wouldn't want to take any money back, so Toronto's tapped.

at the end of the day the trade would be seguin,kadri,schenn,two draft picks,grabo,reimer for kessel , hall , eberle.
I'm sure out of everyone they have, their fans are looking forward to Eberle and that number 1 pick. MPS will be a great first line complementary player.
Ouch. Big no from Edmonton. 1st aint movin unless a player with similar potential to Hall/Seguin is coming back. I'd like to have Schenn and Kadri, but the price of Eberle and the 1st is ridiculous, even with Kaberle.
The Leafs would be falling all over themselves to make this deal. From a talent perspective, Hall and Eberle's upside>>>> than what is offered from Toronto's side. Not to mention the marketability of both of those players.
It's an MLSE wet dream if this trade were ever to happen. But it wont.

You can't put a price on hope and that is exactly what Edmonton needs to sell its fan-base right now. Hall/Seguin, Eberle, and MPS are the face of the rebuild and likely the DNA of future Edmonton championships. There is nothing on Toronto's roster or in their system that can trump this, even if the value is "fair". (which I don't think this trade is.)
As for Toronto, Burke has cast his lot with a strong back-end, a solid goaltending tandem, and some measure of young forward talent. He should keep Kaberle unless a deal blows him away and he's going to use July 1st to add an additional weapon or 2 for the top 6, otherwise there's no reason to drastically alter the make-up of the team on one off-season.
No way Edmonton even considers this. Grabovski just adds another small forward with an oversized contract, Kaberle is unlikely to resign and doesn't make them a cup or even playoff contender and Reimer is a throw in compared to the other prospects.
Throw in Klumimen and maybe Edmonton does not hang up.
In all seriousness I dont think Edmonton turns down a chance at a franchise player with the 1st overall pick
Best. Spelling. Ever.
As for the proposal, I don't think it really helps either team.
Leafs are better with Kadri and Schenn for the future, as Burke loves them (not saying he wouldn't love Hall) and the other pieces can be better used in smaller moves.
Edmonton won't move the 1st overall. It is more than a pick. Getting a 1st overall means more than just getting a stud prospect. It helps with the fanbase, fires up a rebuild and generally gets things going.

yea, I kind of agree that neither team does this... Kadri and Schenn are our biggest skater prospects, and Kaberle is our top asset to move, while Reimer will likely take over Giggy's role after next season.
The only piece that's not extremely valuable to the Leafs is Grabovski
The 1st and Eberle are really interesting pieces, but I don't know if it's a good idea...
It's certainly interesting... having Kessel, Hall, Eberle on the same team... that's some great wingers, but as far as centers go, we've got Bozak and then...?
I'm not sure that anytyhing short of Kadri+Schenn+Phaneuf will get you the 1st overall with Eberle attatched, and even still I doubt Edmonton does it.
Toronto already made their decision when they traded for Kessel, to completely blow it all up for the 1st pick makes little sense when they were likely going to end up close to it from day 1
