king_malice 17 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Hey guys just wondering what you guys think about Kaberle, yes or no if you guys would want him at the right price ? only because i don't think the Bruins are going to re-sign him, i think the Bruins are going to make a play for Brad Richards, without Savard the PP has gone WAY downhill and at the risk Savard does come back and goes down again they would still have Richards,Krecji,Bergeron,Peverly (4 great C's) they would defintly have the Cap space to make a move for him if Kaberle leaves Kaberle 4.2Mill Ryder 4Mill Recchi 1.9Mill Hnidy 500K I could see them bringing back Ryder but for WAY less then 4Mill Anyways what do you guys think about both Richards and Kaberle ?

MGreenberg 105 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 No to Richards, good player but too much money and same for Kaberle. I think being on a Cup finals team, he would want a ton of money. I would like to see either Wisniewski or Pitkanen in Detroit or both for about 4 to 4.5 million each Lidstrom / Kronwall Pitkanen / Wisniewski Stuart / Kindl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MGreenberg 105 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Like I said with Kaberle. Erhoff and Bieksa. Canucks are a cup team and will probably want like way too much money. I don't know what Boston might do though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brett 1,029 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 not impressed with what kaberle has done since going to boston. his offense disappeared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king_malice 17 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 I wouldnt mind paying a little extra for Ehrhoff he is DEFINTLY in my opinion the best D UFA this year he's got some good size at 6'2 200LBS and the obvious stats he puts up 50PTS and a +19 on the season he made 3.1 this season i cant see him getting more then 5mill per and thats still a saving from Raffy's contract and the closest to a Raffy replacement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king_malice 17 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 I wasn't really impressed that much either with him in Boston but then again Boston and Detroit are different teams Wings are defintly WAY more offensive which is why i think Kaberle might be a good fit here at the right price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crymson Report post Posted May 29, 2011 I wasn't really impressed that much either with him in Boston but then again Boston and Detroit are different teams Wings are defintly WAY more offensive which is why i think Kaberle might be a good fit here at the right price You always have the worst ideas, dude. Kaberle is not a good defenseman. He doesn't play defense. What's more, he's lazy and unmotivated. And he's been beyond atrocious with Boston. He was brought in to shore up the power play, and that power play has operated at well under 10% thus far. No way will we be picking this guy up. Holland knows far better.

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Kaberle I'd take if the price was reasonable and I didn't care much for the other options. Richards is a pipe dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Ruff 47 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 Good Lord, no to Kaberle... He's not even worth his current contract anymore, previously considered one of the league's best bargains Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Heaten Report post Posted May 29, 2011 No. I would like to see Holland find someone young, like in their mid 20s. Someone with upside and can be trained to learn the DRWs system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hatethedrake! Report post Posted May 29, 2011 (edited) Kaberle looks as if he is afraid to be hit. He moves the puck well but he never shoots. He and Joe Thornton could have a contest to see who shoots less. I'd pass on Kaberle. No pun intended. We don't need Richards. Too expensive plus we already have 2 of the best playmaking centres in the league right now with Dats and Z. We need a winger who can score. Edited May 29, 2011 by Hatethedrake!

xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted May 29, 2011 My initial reaction was "No", he doesn't play defense, he's soft, etc. But the more I thought about it, is he that much different than Mathieu Schneider? I thought Schneider had his best years in Detroit. I could easily see that being the case with Kaberle. So he's soft and doesn't play a ton of defense, pair him up with someone that does.

The thing with Schneider though is that he had that bomb from the point. Teams had to respect that. Kaberle's shot couldn't break glass plus he never shoots.
