MONTREAL -- Much like fellow countryman Tomas Kaberle, Pavel Kubina would be willing to waive his no-trade clause if he no longer fits in the Maple Leafs' future plans.
"If Brian (Burke) and the team did not want me here, why would I stick around?" Kubina admitted here yesterday.
"Having said that, it's an honour to play for the Leafs. I want to stay."
Kaberle's agent, Rick Curran, reportedly said last week that Kaberle likely would provide a list of potential teams to Burke if he was asked to move. Kubina said he would probably follow suit with a list if similar circumstances arose concerning his own situation.
Kubina, who has one full season remaining for a salary of $5-million US, said he has not been approached by Burke.
