He has no cap hit when he's in Hartford.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.

It makes no sense to sign Kaberle while waiving Kostka. Kostka is better at this point.

Kostka is not better than kaberle, Don't kid yourself.
Kaberle was at least at one point, a serviceable NHL defenseman. Kostka will be lucky to sniff regular minutes in this league.
Key word, was.
Kostka has been sniffing minutes the past few years, albeit as a depth player. Kaberle hasn't had regular playing time in a while.
Well he's been playing in europe. Kind of hard to have NHL play time.
in 2012 he had 22 pts in 43 games with the habs.
Hell, in 2013-2014 he had 24 pts in 48 games in europe. That's pretty good for a "washed up" player
It would take nothing short of a miracle for kostka to get 5 points in 43 games.
Wouldn't mind if he gets claimed to open up an extra roster spot...just in case.
I hope we make a move or two towards the end of the season and try to snag an undrafted FA or two. Our overall depth in the system isn't great--lots of older bodies.
Bring in Skjei for the playoff run.
Isn't he like the best defenseman in college?
From college hockey to the NHL playoffs… yea, that's a pretty big jump in competition.
Worked for Kreider
he had 11 in 28 games last season...Im not the biggest Kostka fan and I dont want him in the line up, but Kaberle is not an upgrade.

I don't know what season you're talking about but this says 24 pts in 48 games for HC Kladno as his last "season"

Even so, 11 points in 28 games is nothing to frown over anyway.
Please enlighten me how kaberle at the very least is not an upgrade over kostka

At a minimum, Kaberle can play the point.
He's younger than Zidlicky but equally terrible defensively. His shot and point play is still serviceable.
I was against this at first but Allen, Hunwick and Kostka are horror shows and it saves Girardi some ice time off the PP.
Yeah, but DeKeyser was really good for the Wings fresh out of college.
