What kind of recognition does Kaberle deserve?

He's one of the best offensive dmen we've drafted so yes, he'll be honoured for sure. Matter of when.
The last stat is surprising. I could swear he went years between shots

Even better that it is 1337. Hopefully someone picks up that reference
Very good Leaf, not worth "honouring".
Still remember the idiots at ACC always screaming "shoot" the second he entered the zone on a PP.

Not really. He was a great pick, a solid D man, had longevity as a Leaf. And he waived his NTC to win a cup where we got back 3 assets. But IMO he doesn't belong with Leafs greats. More a Ian Turnbull type of player. A very nice player, but I would have trouble seeing his banner raised or for him to have some sort of pre game honour ceremony.
While that might be true Kabs who actually had a good shot was generous to a fault with his beautiful passes to lesser talents.

He was definitely a pass-first defenceman, but the majority of his decisions were good. He was great at finding the open man and a lot of the calls for "shots" were from bad angles with better options (that he usually found) available.
His lack of shots was overblown, that's obvious if you take a look at his stats.

Kaberle, Markov, and Berard were once all part of our young D core. We also had Yuskevich. I actually thought Markov was better defensively but Kaberle got the puck out of the zone better than any Leafs D man of his time. One pass and the Leafs were out of the zone. No one did that better than Tomas. Give him credit for this.

l33t. I picked up on that right away
Kabs deserves recognition of being a loyal serving Leaf.
Kabs deserves recognition of waving his NTC so that Leafs can get batter
Kabs was all class and was a better D-Man than Homophobic Sluroof who got the "C" instead of Kabs. It was a friggen joke and it still is!

He was on his way to becoming one worth honouring until Jackass Janssen....after that IMO he was never the same.......

One of the uglier uncalled for moments in NHL history. As dumb as Domi on Niedermayer but with more catastrophic results to Kabs

While he eventually did agree to be traded don't forget he also rejected a trade to the Flyers in 2008 which would have got the Leafs Jeff Carter and a 1st round pick.

He was sort of a poor man's Niedermayer, wasn't he? The Leafs transition game has never been the same without him. Even though Gardiner and Rielly show a ton of promise, no one really brings the puck up as calmly and efficiently and error free as he did. Nor do we have a power play puck distributor like him.
