from Lance Hornby of the Toronto Sun,
Tomas Kaberle still hesitates when answering his phone in the Czech Republic.
But the wait and worry ends Saturday when the window on the defenceman’s no-trade contract closes, with him still expected to be a Maple Leaf.
Kaberle was relieved to hear general manager Brian Burke predict again yesterday that he’ll be in the fold when training camp opens in a month.
“I’m happy to be staying a Leaf, though there are still a few days to go,” a cautious Kaberle said yesterday in a phone interview from his hometown of Kladno.
“Everyone knew what Brian said, that if he got a good deal there would be movement with me. But I’m getting ready to go to Toronto now, working out the past few weeks with (compatriot and Canadiens forward) Tomas Plekanec and ready to fly out in a few weeks and see the guys.”

As a leafs fan, I’m conflicted. It’s difficult to see what brian burke’s image of the leafs is considering some of the trades he’s made.
Kaberle is an amazing defenseman, there was a time he would have been top 5 in the east for sure. But with the logjam on defense and a lack of a pure scoring forward, its hard not to want to try and move him to get a good player up front.
