i doubt anybody would be into this, but kaberle wants to play in the NHL again, and while the isles defensive situation is not great, would anybody on this forum actually want kaberle? a great dman in his time, I doubt he would have anything left in the tank.

although he might be good on the PP

Lol. No.

The time when we signed old, washed up, veterans should be over. So I'll pass on Kaberle.

[A Pointed Stick]

**** that. All that needs saying.

 

[redbull]

Think Kaberle might be done. Probably six or seven better defensemen on the NYI as of today.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'd rather have Bruno Gervais back.

Not really but ew no to Kaberle. He's awful.

 

[nyisles]

I'd love the Isles to get Kaberle... about 10 years ago. Bringing him in now would be an awful dumpster dive, even by NYI standards.

 

[seabass45]

Would rather have Del Zotto.

I seem to remember prominent Kaberle-to-the-Isles rumors from 13 or so years ago — I guess from around the time we ended up acquiring Aucoin.

 

[crashthenet]

Pass. There are a few players left who could be brought in for a look but not him. Or martinek

 

[Al Arbour]

"All season long, he was watching".

That first line just cracks me up for some reason.

 

[The Underboss]

I think you might as well sign this to a contract:

 

[KyleBailey12]

I'd rather have cardboard Brooks Orpik.

 

[AHB*]

There are still some decent options out there on D. Kaberle is not one of them. He is a name signing only at this point.

Isles should be targeting some of the following, at the very least for a camp invite:

Colaiacovo
D. Morris.
M. Komisarek (Yes, really)
S. Salo
R. Diaz

The Isles are, fortunately, past the time when they need bodies on defense. Bodies, they have.

Kaberle could maybe be a bottom pairing guy who helps you on the PP at this point in his career (if, indeed, he still has a career). But, its not like the Isles are short on the bottom pairings.

They could use a quality vet in case Vish's head turns to mush though.

i could see him being a solid vet, a mentor to the yound d squad, and a healthy scratch in case somebody goes down he would be the guy to step in. let the young guys like Donovan have the whole season in the AHL and if somebody goes down have kaberle be the guy to replace him

im just curious because he apparently does have a try out, so somebody is interested.

imagine if it was the isles

 

[borisbadenough]

The bargain of the year was Erhoff.

Who would have guessed the Isles would miss that opportunity? lol

Then I would vomit because Kaberle sucked two years ago. We need to swing a trade for a solid top 4, not pick up more geriatric BS.

 

[Isles5513]

I'll pass. He is done in this league in my opinion.

 

[Aucoin3]

I wouldnt hand the man a contract but if he wants to come to camp and prove he is still a valid option on the blue line then why not. If he actually has something to offer and can prove it why not sign him for 1 season?
