Former NCAA Division I Centre Joe Colborne headed to Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have today traded Tomas Kaberle to the Boston Bruins for former USA college player Joe Colborne, a 21 year old 2008 draftee who is now a 6-foot-5 centre with Boston’s AHL farm team at Providence (12 goals and 14 assists in 55 games this year), plus a 2011 first-round draft pick (Boston's, not Toronto's) and a conditional pick, likely a second-round pick in 2012, due only if Kaberle resigns with the Bruins or if Boston makes the Stanley Cup final this season.
As Kaberle is a free agent and Toronto may have an opportunity to resign him (if Boston doesn't lock him in) this summer, this deal ensures that we get at least 2 young players for Tomas Kaberle.
Well done Burkie!!!
