Another member of the 2010-11 Stanley Cup champions has moved on.
Free-agent defenseman Tomas Kaberle has signed a three-year deal with the Carolina Hurricanes, the team has confirmed on its website. The deal was first reported by TSN.
"Tomas is one of the top puck-moving defensemen in the NHL and power-play specialist," Carolina president and general manager Jim Rutherford said in a statement on Tuesday. "He has had a good career and is now a Stanley Cup champion. We welcome him to Carolina and look forward to his contributions to the Hurricanes."
Kaberle was acquired by the Bruins in February from the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 33-year-old was brought into to be the puck-moving defenseman that would help jumpstart a struggling power play. While Kaberle helped do that initially, the Bruins' power play fizzled down the stretch and into the playoffs. Kaberle had just a goal and eight assists with the Bruins.
Kaberle is the second member of the Bruins to move on in free agency, after Michael Ryder signed with the Dallas Stars when free agency opened last week.
