BLOCKBUSTER TRADE ALERT OR Proposal?

My friend just called me and informed that the Toronto Maple Leafs have traded

Tomas Kaberle
Jason Blake
(third unknown player)Edit: Believed to be Nik Antropov

to Pittsburgh for

Jordan Staal
Ryan Whitney

Looking for confirmation.

Edit: When he told me, he said it had been reported on Sportsnet.
Still can't find anything though.

What????????? Are the Penguins insane??

WTH is Shero thinking?

Good deal for the Leafs.

EDIT: If true, of course. I've heard a number of blockbusters reported that haven't come true.

Come on. If so Burke should be charged for theft.

I could see Ottawa dealing Heatley for Staal & Whitney

Cant find it anywhere. Valentine's fool or what?

i heard it at the Greyhound game last night too.... I wonder if this has legs?

No thanks.

Never been overly impressed with Staal and Ryan Whitney makes Brian Lee look like Anton Volchenkov in terms of grit.

No. Way!

This feels like Jason WIlliams 2.0. Has Kevin Lee joined a Maple Leafs blog?

If this is true, they wouldn't do the trade before the game. I mean they play each other tonight, they'd at least wait til tomorrow or monday.

Gonchar's been cleared to play. Surely they don't need Kaberle now? They'd miss Staal a lot more.

OK, so apparently this was just from the "Inbox" segment of Sportsnet where they read fan-suggested proposals.

I hope, anyway.

I smell a false alert...

Might have been. Again, my friend called me and said he saw this on Sportsnet, so I assumed that he wasn't an idiot. It seems like this is untrue. Or, maybe they are waiting until after tonight's game to finalize the deal. Who knows.
