Brian Burke is again Shopping Kaberle as traid bait for a forward. The Deadline for a trade without kaberle's approval is Sunday. The rumors persist that Dallas is willing to trade Ribiero possibly for a puck moving Defenseman. Kaberle's salary is $4.25M vs the $6+M that Ribiero makes. Throw in a prospect in the deal and Toronto gets two forwards, we get a badly needed top line D and shed some salary at the same time. I think, though that dallas would want some assurances that an extention owuld be in the deal. We definitely don't need a one year deal with Kaberle only to see him walk via free agency. There isn't much point because Dallas isn't ready to make a playoff run much less contend for a cup. I don't think Kaberle would re-sign with a new team unless he was traded to a contender.

According to CBC in Canada, there is an alternate schedule for 2010-11 complete with divisional realignment should the Coyotes move to Winnipeg. It has the new Jets in the Northwest Division with Colorado moving to the Pacific. (CBC) I don't really understand why Dallas continues to be included in the Pacific and not Vancouver, and now Colorado. Not that I'd like to see them in the Central with Detroit and Chicago but it does make more sense to have them in the Central than the Pacific.
