Around the NHL - Thursday Rumors

Toronto continues to work things out with Boston, the hold right now is on Kaberle signing a 2-3 year term with the B's, this could be a snag, will stay on this one, something could happen today, or not at all, the Kaberle ordeal is sketchy, I think he's torn between leaving and going.

Montreal acquired seldom used defeseman Paul Mara from the Anaheim Ducks earlier today, a depth move for the Habs

J.S. Giguere came down with a "lower body injury" last evening during the 1st period of the Leafs win over Buffalo, this could potentially hinder any trade talks the Leafs have going with Giguere.

Ian White (Carolina) is close to being dealt, Montreal or Vancouver are the likely destinations

One source telling me the Leafs may wait until after the Saturday night game with Ottawa to see if they make ground on the 8th playoff spot, being just 6 points out now with the teams ahead of them spiralling has changed the philosophy slightly, a win Saturday night combined with losses for the eastern teams ahead of them would result in being just 4 points out, which could mean Kaberle stays.
