Bruins might be Kaberle’s best option now that dust has settled
The place where veterans go to make some money and play in anonymity, Long Island, of course, needs to spend a ton of cash to get to the cap floor, unless they use a bunch of bonuses that will never be reached to cheat their way into compliance. The Islanders have six D under contract, but a puck-mover like Kaberle would go a long way toward adding some punch to the New York back end as a complement to the returning Mark Streit.
It’s been a great free-agent season for a number of average to slightly-above-average talents. Kaberle missed the initial boat. Putting down anchor in Boston and just being glad he’s getting paid seven figures to play at the game’s highest level in a hockey town might be his only chance of not getting left at the dock and avoiding floating on a sinking ship of a team.

The Canes now have 8 D under contract making more than $2 mil. Kabs got the ring, now he he’s got his payday. I don’t think he’s worth $4.25 mil/year, but then this free agent “season” seems to have a number of teams going a little nutty with the spending.
Nik Cage plays Peter Chiarelli in: New England Treasure….The Search for the Elusive PMD.
At the end of the movie Cage finds Kaberle after searching for 5yrs but realizes it was more about the journey than the destination.
Two or three years at 3 mill per. They need someone to lug the puck and make good passes. I don’t see anybody else who can do that. If Wiz is worth over 5 per than Kabby at three is a joke. His agents laughing at me right now.
Disagree. Guy is a waste of time and money. Huge mistake if they resign him. Save the money
we saw kabby’s ‘floor’ last year. give him $3.5m for 1 year given the boatload of fa’s next year. kampfer ain’t ready.
I wouldnt object to having him back, but I am leary of a two year deal due to the oft-mentioned need to have free cap room for next years UFA’s. Of course with the likelihood (and sad fact) that Savard wont be coming back there should be enough room to fit in Kaberle at two years 3 million. Give kamfer a season in the minors.
