Canes trade Kaberle to the Habs


The Other Colbert

Recommended Posts

The Carolina Hurricanes have traded defenseman Tomas Kaberle to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, a source told ESPN.com Friday.

Kaberle has two years, $8.5 million left on his contract; Spacek will be an unrestricted free agent after this season.

The Hurricanes have been shopping Kaberle for at least a month, hoping to shed his big contract.

Pierre LeBrun covers the NHL for ESPN.com.

FINALLY! To be able to get rid of his huge contract is great news... I think we got the better of this deal.

I'm not even sure who this Spacek is, (runs to Google) but getting rid of Kaberle alone should vastly improve our defense. I can't believe anybody was willing to take on that contract with the way he has played this year.

:party: :party: :party:

Spacek

GP - G - A - PTS - +/- - PIM - SOG % - TOI/G - PROD

12 -- 0 - 3 --- 3 --- +2 --- 2 ---- 0.0 -----15:29 - 61:58

Kaberle

GP - G - A - PTS - +/- - PIM - SOG % - TOI/G - PROD

29 -- 0 - 9 --- 9 -- -12 --- 2 ---- 0.0 -----19:15 - 62:01

Only playing in 12 games is a little disconcerting, (edit: missed 17 games with 2 separate upper body injuries, but cleared to play now.) but only slightly less points per game, +14 over Kaberle, less TOI but even production and getting rid of that retarded contract?

fug yeah! I'd still like to see another forward added, but this deal makes me :D

    • For the silly people that worship her it will be that.  The Coleman 'legend' thing, they did that with another fairly average player that was here and I sort of mocked or questioned the 'legend' status. Instantly caught crap for insulting someone's favorite Panther. So okay, Kurt Coleman is a Legend. 
    • You allow him to compete--you all are talking as if I am proposing making him the starter. Give him a new coach, new weapons, good OL, etc. and see what happens. You are saying, "Well Damn.  It did not work for 3 guys..."  Right now, our C is injured, we lost our top 2 WRs.  Better question:  If you need a QB, Why would you not take a chance on bringing in a QB who was a former first rounder, a good arm, intelligence, mobility, youth, etc.  and see how he does out of NY--with a better OL, better running game, better receivers.  I am not saying give him a 10-year contract, I am saying give him a chance. You act like there is no improvement on offense here--it was a 2 year process, and next year is year 2.  To me, how can you sit there with Bryce and an opportunity to sign a veteran QB on the cheap comes available and you say--"Not us. We're good.  We are waiting for Patrick Mahommes."  Jone's problem is obviously mental--and he has little support.  Why is this so frigging hard to comprehend.  It is called "bottom fishing" and it is better than sitting in the boat.  
    • I think we're going to fall from behind quite early and be forced to abandon the run game.  3 rushes -2 yards 1 catch -10 yards
