MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 Why? From Montreal's perspective, it's an admission that Andrei Markov isn't coming back any time soon. It also fulfills their mantra of icing the smallest, softest team in the NHL. And Carolina gets out from underneath the additional two years left on Kaberle's contract.

rick zombo 3,739 Report post Posted December 9, 2011 I find it funny how Kaberle endured years of trade speculation in Toronto only to end up on his fourth team now, in less than a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted December 10, 2011 I find it funny how Kaberle endured years of trade speculation in Toronto only to end up on his fourth team now, in less than a year. The Toronto media built him up and overrated him so much it was disgusting. I swear they treated him like he was a Norris worthy defenseman his last few years in Toronto.

Donaldjr2448 43 Report post Posted December 10, 2011 Maybe this will light a fire under his a$$ for my fantasy team. Kabby has been struggling and Team Budweiser cannot afford this type of play! Thankfully I do not have to adhere to the contract he has!! Yikes!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theman19 47 Report post Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) Carolina has a really bad habit of icing teams based on the coaches input. I realize that happens everywhere in the league, but explain how else there are four former maple leafs on this squad (and not from a good leafs era either)? Now that Muller has taken over for maurice I fully expect more habs to come carolina's way. Hell, they've needed a second line center for at least 3 years, maybe they'll do something really stupid and get scott gomez.
