Breaking News: Blackhawks Plan to Trade Patrick Kane for Tomas Kaberle

We've heard all of the rumors going around for months now that the Blackhawks have been working on trades, specifically with the Leafs.  Well today I think we finally got the hint we've been waiting for from the team on what that trade will be.  Check out this image found on the Blackhawks site this morning:

Main_image111309_medium

via cdn.nhl.com

The image is clearly a photoshop since the last time the Blackhawks played the Leafs at home was Dec. 22nd, 2006, well before Versteeg or Kane were playing for the club.  This can only mean the Blackhawks are planning to trade Tomas Kaberle for Patrick Kane (he's lazy) and Kris Versteeg (because seriously.. Fergie?).  I'd expect the trade to be announced in the next few hours so all parties involved can get their new sweaters in time for tonight's game.  If Stan Bowman is really good - we'll also get the Leafs to throw in Vesa Toskala to solve the major problem in the net.

At least, you know, we’re getting a D-man out of it or something, idk. I had someone ask me what I thought of shipping Campbell, Versteeg, and maybe Barker to Carolina in exchange for Eric Staal. He seems to think a 25yo 100pt center is worth losing a playmaker and maybe 2 puck-moving PP-QB-ing D-men.

NIce job Matt. Look at your calendar guys, then look at the day and it’s numerical date…it’s Friday the 13th. It’s all a hoax so relax as the Hawks would never trade Kane in any capacity whatsoever and there probably will be no substantial trades made until AFTER the Olympics.
Kaberle isn’t coming here or probably anywhere for that matter has he has one of a mere few that have produced for the Leafs on a consistant basis. Toskala? But I’m sure someone here will think it would be a great move. Sigh.

Kaberle is a truly elite offensive defenseman. Shame about that whole defensive zone thing.

On the other hand he scores twice as much as Soupy for half the price.

I would not have wasted this milk of human kindness on, say, Nashville or Phoenix “fans”.

You people need to live with the fact that Wendy is and always will be a loser and only slight improvement over Chris Phillips as in terms of mediocre 1st overall picks. I mean…he was drafted as a defencemen and ultimately couldn’t play the position and ended up becoming a forward. It’s like drafting Byfuglien with the 1st overall pick really. Good player but not worthy of a 1st overall pick.

I was away for a few minutes and this thread went from 29 comments to 181. we can barely get that many for a game day thread, so I figured either someone was buying this rumor or there’s a takeover going on. I will read it now. enjoyed the original post. looking forward to the game.

I mean come on – leafs?

Did a third grader name your team?

Let’s ruin some great poetry with bad Canadian english -

The smoke of my own breath;
Echoes, ripples, buzz’d whispers, love-root, silk-thread, crotch and vine;
My respiration and inspiration, the beating of my heart, the passing of blood and air through my lungs;
The sniff of green leafs and dry leafs, and of the shore, and dark-color’d sea-rocks, and of hay in the barn;
The sound of the belch’d words of my voice, words loos’d to the eddies of the wind;

Leafs of Grass – Walt Whitman

proper english lesson

the name was chosen in honor of the Maple Leaf Regiment from World War I. As the regiment is a proper noun, its plural is formed by adding a simple ‘s’ creating Maple Leafs (not *Maple Leaves)
