Welcome to Maple Leafs Hot Stove’s official coverage of the 2010 NHL Entry draft.  Everyone here at the site will be working hard, monitoring stories and networking with people around us through the day to bring you the absolute latest as we get set for the NHL entry draft live from L.A. tonight.

Eric Duhatschek reports in the Globe and Mail last night that there are six firm offers for Kaberle, with more expected to come in as the day progresses.

The article also goes on to state that though everyone is focused on the Kaberle sweepstakes, Burke did admit to having a few others things perhaps in the works, though he obviously declined to talk names.

Duhatschek also reports that Blackhawks winger Andrew Ladd may be a potential target for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Stay tuned to Maple Leafs Hot Stove all day for the absolute latest on the NHL Entry Draft

    @ dawriter67:
    Never getting Brown & Schenn; it would be either or unless we gave up something else substantial (Bozak, Stalberg)

    Kaberle for J Staal.

    I’d like to see Toronto do a deal with Dallas:

    TO LEAFS: James Neal

    TO STARS: Tomas Kaberle, James Reimer

    Dallas gets the puck moving defenseman they are after as well as fill the hole they have in net. They still have plenty of talent on LW so losing Neal isn’t quite so bad.
    Toronto gets the big bodied young forward they have been seeking to play with Kessel and Bozak.

    You know a soccer fan is delusional and biased when they single out one team as being the worst divers. Every single team in the tournament are fucking pussy divers. I don’t even watch soccer, but I at least know that much. It’s become part of the game since a team knows they can get possession if they are good actors. It makes the sport a pathetic joke, if you ask me.

    I think Stalberg has a much brighter future than Steen

    @ yama9997:
    If Pitts moved Staal they are gonna want some support on the wings for the two best centers in the game. I cant see kabby alone getting it done, staal will have to bring in that winger.

    The fact Philly has not been able sign Hamuis quickly means they still could be in the hunt for a d-man.

    HockeyInsider is saying the Flyers are having a hard time coming to terms with Hamuis and might be $1M apart. Speculation is that the Canucks are still very interested in Hamhuis, which may be reciprocated as he is from B.C.

    @ JP:
    Kaberle almost scored as many points as Brown last year…I know he’s great and a good hitter and leader but he’s an average scorer. I can definitely see LA offering Brown + 1st for Kaberle and Burke demanding Schenn, that is a little steep but it apears Burke is asking for a steep price and someone will end up paying.

    If Burke gets Brown he is topping up anything he has to for the addition of Schenn to the deal. Thats just how it is since it is Schenn that he is really after. Kadri will be Schenns winger.
