Kaberle On the Move? Schenn Goal, Plus More On Bulin...

Frantisek Kaberle that is. I heard from a source that Kaberle could be on the move sometime during the first half of the season. "If not then, then [Kaberle] will be moved at the [trade] deadline." The source went on to say that the suitors could be L.A, Montreal, or St.Louis but to "not count anybody out".
I like Frantisek. He's a great puck moving defencemen, the only thing that has hurt his value has been his injury's, but I think if he stays healthy, he's an asset for any team. The way my source tells it though, the Canes wouldn't be looking for a significant return.

If you wanna watch something that's gunna make you smile, Leaf fan or not, you gotta watch this heart warming goal by Luke Schenn- the shootout winner - last night. Oshie made a great move for St.Louis also, but lost the puck, or else he had a wide open right side of the net. Entertaining.

The latest on Khabibulin is that he was put on waivers as my source indicated, and has recently cleared waivers. A couple of people suggested to me that L.A would pick him up, but someone within the L.A organization told me "The Kings aren't really interested in Bulin, I think. From what I've heard, they're just focused on re-signing O'Sullivan and getting to the cap floor rather than going over it by acquiring [Khabibulin]." The source isn't high up in the L.A organization whatsoever, but was the only person I could get a hold of right now. So don't count L.A out just because of that, because there will obviously be some interest with the recent send down of Bernier. I was also told by someone point blank that the Sens were not interested in Bulin whatsoever, and that they'd like to ride Gerber, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense givin that Gerber hasn't exactly been solid in pre-season. But it's a hard one to call. If the Sens were to want to acquire Bulin, then they would want to move Gerber most likely to avoid another goalie controversy. So my question is this. Is Khabibulin that much better than Gerber? And wouldn't the Hawks want to avoid taking Gerber in return to avoid a goalie controversy of their own between Huet and Gerber? I dunno, just my thoughts.
