Ice Scoopz: Friday Morning

*-> Brian Burke has shot down the rumors about Tomas Kaberle heading to the Washington Capitals. The outspoken GM has said no talks have taken place concerning Kaberle with the Caps but Brian Burke is a lot of smoke and mirrors when it comes to deals. The rumor of Dustin Brown of the Los Angeles Kings for Tomas Kaberle "done deal" was shot down also saying there was zero truth to it. Rumors are now swirling around which defenseman it could be. Sheldon Souray has been linked but it seams unlikely the Caps would send a top 2 player for a disgruntled defenseman who could be had for next to nothing. Kevin Bieksa also has been linked but with Sami Salo injured Vancouver may be forced to keep him. Philly has a surplus of defensemen but next to no cap space. The Ottawa Senators have Brian Lee and Filip Kuba to expend and are looking for some offensive help. The Montreal Canadiens have several prospects ready to go and could be looking to move a body out but it's unlikely the Caps would deal a player to the team that eliminated them so soon. We'll watch this one closely today.
