A confused Pavel Kubina phones to ask why the guy in charge putting together the Atlanta Thrashers 2009 media guide just showed up to take his picture.Damien Cox is reporting that the Leafs have dealt Pavel Kubina to Atlanta. Various rumors say that Colby Armstrong is coming back the other way. Neither detail has been officially confirmed. (Update: Reports are now saying Armstrong is not in the deal.)
If true, the deal would save the Leafs almost $4M in cap room. The big question is which UFA is getting Kubina's money. Reports have the Leafs chasing Mike Cammalleri and Mike Komisarek.
I think there's a lesson here: if your team clearly wants to trade you, and they ask you to waive your NTC two years in a row so they can trade you to a contender... you might just want to waive. Because otherwise, you might wind up in Atlanta.
As for Armstrong, he brings belligerence. With Colton Orr's truculence already signed and sealed, Burke's shopping list is now down to pugnacity and testosterone.

If this is true, and we sign Komisarek, and still have Kaberle to peddle... Oh dear god. I will be happy. Even if only one of the above three come true, I will be happy. Hell, even if NONE come true, we still have K.O.lton god-damn ORR. I am happy.
At the draft, I was hoping and wishing in my brain for:
To Atlanta:
7th overall pick
Kaberle
Tlusty
To Toronto:
4th overall pick
Armstrong
This eases the sting of losing out on Schenn a little. Armstrong is a gamer.
P.S. EKLUND IS REPORTING THAT PITTSBURGH HAS JUST WON THE STANLEY CUP
Great news in Leaf land... i'm excited. GO BURKE GO
I don't know what the fuck is going on with this trade, but I'm all for truculence, belligerence, pugnacity, and testosterone.
Check Craig Custance's and Kevin Allen's twitter. Colby's not going anywhere. Fact.
Garnet exelby sounds more like it
GARBAGE TRADE
