It was practically a done deal, they were going to trade Danny Markov and Nik Antropov for him.. Philly said they thought Markov had a bad back, and wanted Kaberle instead, claiming they are on the same skill level.. Leafs turned it down, because they wanted to keep Kaberle.
It was VERY close to being done though, the Leafs thought it was done, they didn't dress Antropov or Markov for that nights game when they thought they had a deal..
Too bad, would have been nice to have seen #88 in a Leaf uniform. It may happen yet, I'm not sure how many years he has left in his contract in NY
