McCabe May be Available

heet_150 · Guru

From what I've heard on the Fan 590 (Toronto), everyone is available. You hear the same arguments as anywhere else. Like for trade Sundin, Tucker or Belfour, now while they are worth something. The thoughts on McCabe are that he was sensational on the power play, with one timers, but now, as Belfour looks like a 40 year old, his defensive liabilities are showing up.

I think that in the right situation I would favour acquring McCabe and team him up with Markov, our best +/- defenseman. On the other hand, if you were Toronto, would you trade your best defenseman to a team in your division during the playoff hunt?

Could we even afford $5M? Forget it it...unless they want guys we want to get off the roster (you know who.)

I think they will sign him before the deadline. Their D has enough trouble without letting their best guy go.

Stay away from McCabe, he has had an injury riddled career and not worth the millions for a guy with maybe two more decent years.

I hear, his camp wants a 5 year deal at huge bucks. If we pick him up, would we want to sign him or rent him?

At 5 million? Never! Is that really what he's asking for? I wouldn't go over 2.5 for him. now that I know what he's asking for, I would just forget I even knew about his eligibility.
