Our SCap next season is 51M with Kaberle.
We don't need to do a compliance buy out.
For now he has little value on the trade market but as he plays more his value will increase.
How many teams can say they have a 7th d-men like Kaberle?
Against the Pens, he was +3, Markov and PK were +1 and all others were even or minus...
I know he played sheltered minutes but he did manage pretty well.
In the league, there are
41 d-men injured. We need NHL players to cover for injuries and Kaberle and Weber can hold their own in this league.
Until our younger D-men are ready in AHL, we should keep him.
Either trade him when younger D-men a ready (next season) or keep him till trading deadline (this season or next season).
Patience is a virtue, before the end of March we will know more.
For now he is an extraordinary 7th d-men.
