Hurricanes Sgin Tomas Kaberle to Three-Year Contract

The Carolina Hurricanes have added some veteran depth to their defensive lineup by signing defenseman Tomas Kaberle to a three-year contract worth $12.75 million. The deal will average out to $4.25 million per season. In 82 games last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins, he had four goals and 43 assists for 47 points. He won his first Stanley Cup this past June with the Bruins. Not a bad signing for the Hurricanes, as Kaberle will bring lots of offensive skill and veteran depth to the team's blueline. He's also excellent at passing the puck and adds lots of skill to the power play, making him an effective defenseman for the team who could put up 40-50 points next season.
