Whats so bad about a close to 60 point getter who likes to drive the net, and can bring physical presence when called upon?

Doug Wilson hangs up phone. Not without a Kaberle extension.

Nothing, he's just not worth a defender capable of the same amount of points with elite PP QBing and pucking moving ability with a history of playing ~25 minutes a game.
Not sure what Kaberle is worth, but according to Ron Wilson he wasn't worth top pairing ice time. Says a lot.
In any case, Burke seems to agree with you guys about the return Kaberle deserves, hence he'll never get traded.

Yeah, that Ron Wilson is in fact the moron we've been calling him
Burke >>>> Wilson
I said it over a month ago, I expect Burke to get his price, or Kaberle to sign a reasonable 4-5 year extension shortly after the 15th

No, it's just not. Couture is a first round pick with a few years and stunning development. He's developed as anyone hopes anything but a top 3-5 pick develops. He's worth significantly more than a random 1st. Couture will be a NHL player, the only question now is how good. With any pick 10-30 you'd be lucky to have 1/3rd the chance of turning out a decent NHL'er.

Some discussion on the Fan about Kabs on Saturday, a few names were mentioned including David Backes. I wonder .....

If you're going to call Clowe a close to 60 point getter, then so is Kaberle. There's every possibility Kabs will outscore him next season. That's not a good deal for us....doesn't improve the offence(in fact, since Kabs is a defenceman, it actually weakens it), and doesn't help us much on the cap either.

Dallas needs a player like Kaberle, but given their financial situation, it never made any sense for them to trade for a UFA to be that they would need to give big money to with an extension.
They aren't a team close to a cup at all. And they can barely sign their RFA's as it is.

"If these offers are all we get...he's staying put," Burke told TSN on Sunday morning.
At the very least we know that if he gets traded, it'll be for something really good.
