The wolves are circling... " That won't come easily or immediately given initial overtures to a new general manager in need always include an attempt at fleecing. Burke is too smart to play that game and given his belief a player shouldn't be moved near the holidays, likely won't pull off anything until the new year. Not that there hasn't been talk.
"I've had some marvelous trade offers already," Burke said. ". . . It has been really easy to say no." lfpress.ca/newsstand/Sports/Hockey/2008/12/06/7653916-sun.html

Kaberle pretty much knows the end of his days are here in Toronto, according the the interview before the game with Elliot Freedman

They're actually doing a pretty decent job so far this game, though Washington's had some nice chances.

Interesting to note that Kaberle's still not out of the doghouse yet. Ian White got more ice-time in the 1st period.

Man, Ovechkin is something. Great effort on that partial break.

Luke Schenn is done for the night with a lower body injury. Wasn't watching when it went down, any idea what it looked like?
