His number doesn't get retired but he'll likely get honored. I don't see why not.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

doubt it gets honoured.

 

[officialmark7*]

Nah.

 

[Diatomic]

Dont think so but he was great on the leafs.

 

[Leafs For Life*]

Only elite players should.

 

[Cor]

2nd in all-time points by a Leaf d-man all-time.

I think that would warrant it. Maybe not immediately, but down the road maybe.

 

[Oiffub]

He may warrant it, but I just can't see it happening.

 

[Mikeyg]

nope

 

[MeowLeafs]

Not a chance imo. The standard is too high.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Not a chance imo. The standard is too high.

2nd all time in d scoring

Not sure how you can say that isn't high standard for a Leaf player. What he did after leaving us shouldn't matter.

 

[mcleex]

Man I can't believe he's already 35 years old, time flies..

Chosen in the 8th round too what a steal

Of the 16 Leafs honoured, all except 1 are in the HOF (Wendel Clark).

 

[ClarkieMac]

right untill the end, i thought he couldv been a better player. the guy had a good shot but always seemed afraid to use it. it almost makes me nostalgic looking back on all the times i yelled "SHOOOOOT" when he was manning the point on the PP.

so on that note, hell no.

 

[paulhiggins]

Maybe if they had a "played scared like bunny rabbit" category.

 

[ConnorTO]

what's up with the guy

he was a great defencemen, plenty of points
it just didnt work out?

i mean what happened to his career
weird, he just disappeared

kinda like kovuchuk

 

[Mowerman]

Only if they caption "SHOOOOOOOOOOOT!!" on the banner.

 

[Frank Booth239*]

Hurricanes fans would prefer if you just burned his number at center ice. I still can't get past the agonizing half season he spent with us. It was like watching a great big marshmallow on skates.

 

[WeWantACup]

I'd like to see it.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

First and foremost lets take a little look: 2nd all time points for a Leafs D-man behind Salming. Hes also a 4 time nhl all-star, Stanley cup ring and bronze medal for 2006 winter Olympics. Seems too have a good resume. I can see Kaberle getting honoured, sure.

 

[The Magic Man]

Not a chance. If he is the bar is set way too low. I was a Kaberle fan and loved those teams, but that would be a joke. He had a handful of good season with us, offensively.

 

[dubey]

Didn't leave enough of an impact on the franchise to be honoured

For that Stanley Cup ring he got with Boston? What do the Olympics have to do with his success on the Maple Leafs also?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Highly highly doubtful. Not with Timmy in charge, at least.

 

[Anthrax442]

Interesting case, Kaberle. He was really talented for a period of time, but his unwillingness to leave when the return for him was the highest really soured some fans.
