Confirmed with Link: Tomas Kaberle Traded to Montreal for Jaroslav Spacek

[JackZap]

2 more years @ 4M what a ****ing joke!

[Ceux de Montreal]

Awesome!

[yoteshot]

I'll miss Spacek… no, seriously, seemed like such a great teammate.

[Ollie Williams]

Before Kabs went to Boston, I would have donated my limbs if it were to make this deal happen. Now, not so sure...

[gusfring]

How are "Carey Price" and "Andy" going to spin this into a positive?

Please GEOFF MOLSON, get rid of this guy now before more damage is done!

[habitue*]

I suggested a Gomez for Kaberle trade a while back... two years of pain instead of four.

But now we have BOTH !

[stubbadub]

He'll be fine in Montreal, guys and gals!

[RaMMuT]

Damn...I will miss spaceman...too bad he's always injured. Probably the main reason why he was traded...

Honestly guys, yeah he has a bad contract but who knows...maybe our PP will explode??



LOL jk

[NHLcrazy]

Next Redden for our 1st and we're all set boys! lol

[Aurel Joliat]

I have always been a fan of Tomas Kaberle.

Jaroslav Spacek was a really bad signing but he was at the end of his contract...

[PyrettaBlaze]

I'm going to miss Spacho so much.

[ClasslessGuy]

There goes the money for Gorges

That's all we can hope for.

[groovejuice]

This can't be the end - this puts Habs over the cap, no? Must be more movement to come.

[Andy]

Lol...Whitesnake...didn't we talk about this last night?Lmao.

Bad move cap wise for the next couple of years. Let's hope he can bring some help on the PP in the short term.

We won't get to see Spacek's beautiful face anymore .

[Coldplay]

The only way this is a good deal is if Kaberle doesn't suck.

What a terrible, terrible terrible move, a soft aging player, with another two years after this, at a cap hit of $4.5 million, Molson has decided to stick with Gauthier, Carolina just shipped out a bad contract, so Rutherford pulled over the eyes of Montreal, not once but twice, first Muller, now this, WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!

and a short term Price contract probably.

Another typical Gauthier/Gainey FRIDAY'S deal !

[Saint Patrick]

Im going to get flamed for this, but I'm not going to hate seeing a pairing of Kaberle and Markov. Thats if:

A. Kaberle starts playing as he did.
B. Markov ever plays again.

no it doesn't, habs take on only like 400K in salary, they are fine.

[We Want The 25]

I was one of spacek only fans here but this is a robbery kaberle is still a very good defender

[MathMan]

I wouldn't panic TOO much over this. Unlike Spacek, Kaberle isn't a 35+ deal; if he's not working out, the Habs can use their economic clout to bury him if they need to. Being a rich team has its privileges.

I'm not entirely convinced as to why this move was made though. "We badly need a PP QB?" I guess Kaberle can fit that bill. Just not sure where he lands at evens.

I love the idea of getting the Kaberle of a few years ago. That would be an outright steal of a deal. But I wouldn't bet on that.

[Tuggy]

I don't know what to say...
