Burke Speaks on HC @ Noon
In case you missed it, here’s a brief summary courtesy of Naz:
- Burke has let it be known to the 29 other NHL teams that Tomas Kaberle is available; he’s received “two interesting package offers” so far for Kaberle and is expecting more in the days leading up to the draft
- Burke’s priority this offseason will be to acquire top six forward with some size; Acquiring a higher draft pick would be a luxury but is not a priority
- Wayne Primeau will not receive a contract offer prior to July 1st and his situation will be re-evaluated afterwards
- Nazem Kadri has a shot at making the Leafs next season but needs to continue to get “stronger” and play a “60 minute game”
- If Kaberle is moved, Burke explains that one of the Marlies “Big Four” of Juraj Mikus, Simon Gysbys, Korbinian Holzer or Keith Aulie could find themselves with a full-time job in the NHL
