Thank You Tomas



So it finally it happened, Tomas Kaberle has been traded to the Boston Bruins.

I always liked Kaberle and it is sad to see him go. He was a great pick by the Leafs in the 1996 NHL draft going 204th in the 8th round. His best season with the Leafs was in 2005-06 season when he posted 67 points.

The Maple Leafs traded the veteran defenceman to the Boston Bruins in exchange for prospect centre Joe Colborne, the Bruins' first-round pick in 2011 and a conditional second-round draft pick in 2012.

I think considering Boston was the only team Kaberle wanted to be traded to. This is a great deal for the Leafs. Colborne could be NHL ready next year and it gives the Leafs another high end prospect that can push Nazem Kadri even more.

Wouldn’t it be great if July 1st Kaberle resigns with Toronto?

What do you think he will sign for, if it’s with Boston, the Leafs or another team?

Is he a $6M a year player?

    There is a good chance someone will offer him $6M a year. But I say he staying in Boston for $5M a year

    LEAFSFAN71: Hey Jenna! I think Brian Burke didn't want to keep him due to salary issue so I think Kaberle might be staying with Boston next year. Very sad to see him go but I wish him all the best with his new team. Thakn you for the great memories, Tomas Kaberle!
