*-> The Los Angeles Kings are rumored to be out of the bidding for Kaberle. They've decided to turn there attention to UFA Willie Mitchell it appears. Reports have them also staying away from bidding on Iyla Kovalchuk. TSN's Darren Dreger has confirmed the Kings being out over Twitter.
*-> The Anaheim Ducks have no interest in Kaberle at the present time mainly due to the asking price and his UFA status next summer. The Ducks arn't willing to part with future or their core for a rental. They are currently looking at the remaining free agents for help. Andreas Lilja and Willie Mitchell both remain on their radar.
*-> The San Jose Sharks appear to be leading this one right now with the Columbus blue Jackets close behind. San Jose is reportedly pushing for a sign and trade or a deal involving a clause if he doesn't resign with the Sharks. The Leafs have no interest in such a deal its reported. The Blue Jacket's are reportedly low balling the Leafs with mild offers.
At the end of the day unless a major offer comes through Kaberle may be a Leaf despite Burkes wishes but I still think presonally he'll go as Burke will definately lose him next summer after all of this turmoil.
