Kaberle, Bruins not talking extension

Part of the risk of trading away a first-round pick for a guy looking at free agency at season's end, Peter. You overpaid for Kaberle, if you ask me.

I'm sure that Kaberle wants to stay with Boston. The only question is can Boston afford the cap hit that he'll demand?

*if* he re-signs for 3-5 years, and continues to produce at an equal level, then I do not think the trade was a reach. Kaberle does not play an overly physical game, so no reason to think he could not last as long as a Neidermeyer or Lidstrom.
However, if he walks, then yes Chiarelli overpaid.

also an excellent point - how much money is he going to demand.
I agree that he would likely want to stay in the East.

Tougher spot for Kaberle than Chiarelli, I'd say. Kaberle's value has steadily regressed since sometime around the trade deadline last year. He was not overly good for the Leafs this year and has not set the world on fire as a Bruin either. Makes him more affordable for the Bs, especially if he wants 4 yrs or so.

Just heard Kaberles old coach the rottenator will get a new deal in TO next year-only burke can figure 4 years of losing is appropriate-or does he secretly know its his own fault?

I heard that too HC and laughed my ****ing **** off. Another year of Rotten Ronnie and Burke bashing. Priceless.

Nice to know you'll have some easy targets besides the Penguins and their fans.

Hey guys! Someone started a TD "Basketball is WAY better than hockey". I think we should pay a visit, comment (if necessary) and vote. (I'll also post this in the other stories for today)

You sure its a new deal? I thought he just committed to letting Ronnie finish out his contract. Did they REALLY extend him?!? Nothing like winning meaningless games to save your job.

NO he has not been extended. He has 1 year left...I hope he does not get any extention as the only reason it is being bandied about is because of Optimu Riem to begin and end with.
Arrrggg! Wilson is really an Air Head.
Good on an Island maybe...enough said.

Optimus Riem. ^
