the only state something like that is legal is texas and even there that is generally frowned upon

I don’t know.

Kaberle is obviously a very good PP QB D-man, and can score at even strength too. Id love to have him.

Luke Schenn is very young, but was very good even as a rook straight to the pro’s.

But this season there are 2 potentially ELITE guys at the top of the draft. John Tarvares is at worst Steve Stamkos part 2 or possibly Crosby part 2 or anywhere in between Victor Hedmann is compared to Chris Pronger.

I know it would be smart to go with the given, proven NHLer. Schenn is young, but he proved that he at the very least will be playing for a long time and be a solid Top 4 D-Man at worst, but probably in the top 2 pairing.

I’d do this if I was the Lightening tho. You never know if Tarvares or Hedman will be as good as advertised, plus its not like the #7 overall is crap. They could potentially grab Luke Schenn’s brother Braydon…….

I can’t believe the Leafs would give up Schenn tho. Id think the Rangers giving up Staal would be nuts, and Schenn RIGHT NOW is as good as Staal.

Is Kaberle and Schenn plus the #7 worth

I read awhile ago that Toronto is willing to sell its soul to get the local phenom Tavares, but I don’t see how trading for the second overall pick will make that happen. You gotta figure the Islanders are going with Tavares. My guess is Toronto will not make this deal unless they are assured the Islanders are going with the other guy.

There are lots of rumors that the Isles may want the defenseman (Hedman?), but that may just be posturing.
