kostka wasnt good. his days were numbered.

kaberle would be perhaps worse but whats it gonna hurt giving him a looksee.

all i know is last time i saw tk, he looked done. over. finished

hes slooooowwwwwww and with boyle back, i dont see the need for him whatsoever.

like i said before, once mcd returns healthy and returns to his old self and not the massive suckage mcdonagh we saw early this season, i really like our defense.

mcd girardi
staal boyle
moore klein
hunwick

looks nice.

kleins emergence and boyles return should make this unit of 6 pretty solid.

As I have said since day one... Kaberle will make Roman Hamrlik look like Pavel Bure in terms of speed.

If Kaberle proves he can play then it will be as our 7th defenseman. I dont see the harm.

More like #8. He won't displace Hunwick. However, you do need 8 capable bodies in the play-offs. I just highly doubt Kaberle can cut it as a 2nd spare.

I'd take Hunwick over Kostka easily. I don't see a compelling reason other than injury to even be kicking Kaberle's tires. I think we'll be fine with Staal, Girardi, Boyle, Klein, Moore and Hunwick until McDonagh gets back. If Kostka clears waivers which would probably be best he'd be a potential call up along with Allen with McIlrath. Unless Kaberle can step right into the Rangers lineup--at his age I don't think there's any point in signing him otherwise.

Amazing that half the replies are about Kaberle.

One defenseman back, one defenseman out.

I don't think he deserved to get waived, he was fine as a depth defender. Hopefully he gets claimed though to free up roster/cap.
