Sure sounded like the Leafs were interested, and that Kipper considered it. Maybe it was just a really bad time for Mikka (birth and baby complications) plus with Kipper having a rough season as well.
If he does decide to keep playing, making the move in the off season instead would make the transition much smoother, plus he'd get a training camp/fresh start with his new team instead of jumping head first into the middle of a pressured packed playoff drive.

Could happen, maybe even a different team other than Toronto.
I don't want Kipper on the team next year because i don't want to see him get lit up every other game he plays. The team next year is going to be as bad if not worse than this years team.
Looking at some of the contracts on the team that is left i am not so sure how much different it is going to be on opening night. If flames won't eat salary on Tangs or Cammi they will be staying. Stempniak is not the sort of player who's value increases in the summer. Hudler just signed and Stajan probably will be on the team next year. Glencross and Backs will certainly be on the team. Sven and Horak should be on it. Maybe Cervenka is let go, for a gritty replacement but that's not enough to make them much better. They will probably add a RFA D-man but still not enough.
Rather Kipper retires a flame or goes to a team to show what he has got in the playoffs.
