I cannot believe I am doing this but.......

Why would Bergevin consider a Kaberle buyout?

I was dead set against this acquisition when it happened and am still of the beleif that we are better off without him but a buyout would be beyond stupid.

A buyout for Kaberle would mean basically a $1.5 cap hit over the next 4 years. You can argue that this is not bad all things considering and we can easily overcome it but Kaberle scored 22 points in 43 games as a member of this team.

Over a full season that translates into about a 42 pt campaign.Had this pace maintained how many D-men would have had more points?

Offensively Kaberle is a top 20 D-man in this league putting him alongside guys like Yandle, Keith, Letang, etc....

Why simply give up on this to save $3 million for 2 seasons?

The solution to me assuming he cannot be dealt is to keep Kaberle and secure him by putting him with a defensively reliable D-man.

We have Markov with Emelin, Gorges with Subban, let's forget about regular ice time to Diaz and Weber and let's put Kaberle with a big right handed shot (or guy who plays the right side) who'll take care of play in his own zone.

If this was my team I would have him playing alongside Josh Gorges and then sign a guy like Jackman to play alongside Subban

Agree with the no buyout, but not with the playing him. If we are stuck with him he should sent to Hamilton or playing limited minutes as a 7th dman.

Twenty games was all Ryan White needed to leave his mark on the Habs’ lineup…and a few of his opponents’ faces.


Anyone knows how many of those games were losses?

I wouldn't...unless Traitorsarek is in his last contract year (which I don't think is the case).

EDIT: wow...the bolded was my attempt at saying the last year of his contract.

Plus Komisarek has a no move clause, no way he accepts a trade back to Montreal.

No way......if you are going to bury him then might as well just buyout....it's only $1.5 million.

For me it's either deal him or put him in a position to suceed

Do you plan on assassinate him?

He has 2 years remaining on his contract with a cap hit of 4.5M, 250K more than Kaberle. Make him play with Markov.

Habs will be happy to have him, when the injury bug starts to bite.
