Nobody will take Kubina with that kind of contract, unless it\'s for another stupid contract like Jose Theodore or Alexei Yashin (i.e. even MORE money for a player that has flopped).

The possible trading of McCabe is only feasible because he actually has some talent and is using it.

Only thing is McCabe has a \"No Movement Clause\" correct? and McCabe absolutly loves Toronto... mind yea he was first to blast the fans when Hal Gill was boo\'ed in early December I believe... and he defended Aki Berg a couple times...

Here\'s a question, why do Aki Berg, Hal Gill players get boo\'d in Toronto? Aki Berg was known as a \"pilon\" but it was never like people got around him often, he has above average skating, he just never produced what people expected but alwasy had a respectable +/- compared to his defencive Teammates... Gill same thing except doesnt skate aswell.... min yea toronto fans warmed up to him after january when he started posing #s... They are 2 solid D men...

Either LA or Toronto(can\'t remember which he debuted for) pulled a Columbus on Aki Berg. He probably wouldn\'t have been excellent, but at least he\'d be able to produce SOME offense if he spent more time in the Euro leagues.
He was way too young to be in the NHL. He needed more time.

It was LA he was brought in at age 18 and was made #2 D man and was expected to be a PPQB

yea I agreefully they rushed him.... but really he was well above average defencivly.... which it why the position is named and how your suppose to play...
