Kaberle traded to Mtl for Spacek. Done deal.

Yikes...Gauthier has got to go. Another 2 years on his deal as well.

Chris G · 12-09-2011, 10:37 AM

**** this team....this is brutal...

Et le But · 12-09-2011, 10:38 AM

Please tell me Kaberle is on a one year deal.

He's finished. He couldn't do anything for the Bruins and is probably the most hated player on a terrible team, why would we possibly think that's a good move?

At least Spacek can defend!

Consider me on the fire Gauthier bandwagon then. This was an awful, awful move.

Nope...2 more years.

Oh my ****ing god

Gary320 · 12-09-2011, 10:39 AM

the trade is all kinda of stupid contract wise.

Chris G · 12-09-2011, 10:40 AM

Kaberle and Gomez....I hope this is a joke.

7th Player · 12-09-2011, 10:40 AM

Have no idea what's going on in Gauthier's head.
There goes next year's cap relief.

PyrettaBlaze · 12-09-2011, 10:40 AM

Kaberle has a disgusting contract. I feel like puking...

And I'm going to miss Spacho. I'm so bummed out right now.

Habs 4 Life · 12-09-2011, 10:41 AM

OMG this GM has become an even bigger joke!!!!! 4 million was going to be freed up this summer, what a moron Gauthier is if we don't get a 1st with it

417 · 12-09-2011, 10:41 AM

Habs obviously see what is apparent to anyone watching the Habs play this year...they need a PP QB

Kaberle's contract is a tough one to swallow though and i'm not sure he's much of a PP QB anymore, but I get why this did this.

pjfanman · 12-09-2011, 10:41 AM

Coming from a Leaf fan....if he puts it together, he can be a very nice offensive weapon. You guys probably already know he's soft as baby poo and isn't good defensively (although with a good pairing he could be ok). Hopefully he turns things around for you guys.

From this point of view, I think this is a very bad trade for the Habs considering he's locked up for another 2 years after this one at a hefty price.

habitue* · 12-09-2011, 10:41 AM

I am speechless.... But Gauthier just pushed the panic button with our dreadful PP.

Does it mean Markov won't be back at all this season ?

Ross MacLochness · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

Hilarious how badly Kaberle's value has plummeted.

This is a move by a GM trying to save a season.

4.25 next 2 years, ugh. This softy better be ****ing worth it.

At least the softness of Kaberle cancels the softness of Spacek.

Gary320 · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

It's a desperation move.

**Whitesnake** · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

This is why I said yesterday that a panic move is never good. People has to be careful when the ask for a change…..And especially with this GREAT management.

**Alicat** · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

B's fan coming in peace.. I actually feel bad for you guys. What was your GM thinking?

Miguel Sanchez · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

Kaberle was good at one point, not now.

Unless he miraculously returns to his former form, I'm gonna be upset with this. At least he's a good whipping boy

Bill McNeal · 12-09-2011, 10:42 AM

For the love of ****... The best part of Spacek's deal was that it was up at the end of the season. Now we have Tomas ****ing Kaberle at a higher cap hit for two more years after this one.

This is definitely a panic move.

Markov isnt playing this season...

CN_paladin · 12-09-2011, 10:43 AM

After this seaon, he's making 4.25M not 4M for 2 more seasons.

Fire Gauthier now!!

EllertoKostitsynGoal · 12-09-2011, 10:44 AM

Well at least our secoud rounder is now safe....
He still had 38 pts in 58 games with the leafs last year, He probably fit better here than he did with the bruins
But that contract ...

onice · 12-09-2011, 10:44 AM

Pearns is a pro scout now, right? Sweet revenge.
