Missing Since February 2011

Remember this player?  That was Tomas Kaberle, when he was actually good (read: a Toronto Maple Leaf).  A trade to Boston near the deadline last year netted him a Stanley Cup ring, but one could argue that he did very little, if anything, to help Boston get that Stanley Cup.  Heck, I could argue that I did more to help Boston get a Stanley Cup, and I was rooting for the other team.  Okay, so that's a complete exaggeration, but the point is that Kaberle has been nothing like his Maple Leaf days since that trade.  Not even a free-agent deal with Carolina in the off-season has helped spark any of his former magic.  As of this morning, Kaberle is now on his fourth team this calendar year, having been shipped to the land of bad contracts (i.e. Montreal) in exchange for Jaroslav Spacek.  The moral of this story:  Got a bad contract?  Just trade with Montreal.  They're suckers for that kind of thing, just ask Scott Gomez.
