Why not, Jaros cleared waivers multiple times so nice to get a pick

Jack Kopacka at eliteprospects.com

 

[BUCKLE UP]

I’d prefer Jaros in the line up over Brown and Reilly. Big lol

 

[Micklebot]

Sweet, this is the trade that will turn our season around...

 

[2CHAINZ]

FINALLY!! The rebuild is

 

[h2]

Always liked Jaros, for some reason DJ Smith wasn't a fan.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

It looks like Kopacka has some speed and skill

He is slow and bad with the puck just the way DJ likes his D. Jaros is just simply too young for DJ. DJ likes his players like he likes his Women, cougars.

I don't get it. We waive Balcers who appears to be a superior winger to this guy and give up a couple assets to get Kopacka. Does this guy replace Jaros on the taxi squad or go to the AHL?

Jaros isn't on the taxi squad.

1st line.

Saw his significant other at rookie camp last year. He did pretty well for himself considering he looks like sopranos mobster who would get whacked early on in season 1

we gave up one asset (Jaros) to get Kopacka and a 7th round pick

I suspect the 7th is the real "asset" in this trade, and Kopacka is just a contract equalizer. There's a reasonable chance he will not even be a regular in Belleville.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I really doubt Jaros is any worse than Coburn, don't why we were so reluctant to give him a shot these past few seasons. Probably a bad trade.

He’s big and fast and has the opportunity to develop into a useful bottom 6 player.

A 4th line who plays like Watson or Paul is valuable than a 2LW which can’t crack the top 6 and can’t defend.

Oh I read that wrong. That's a plus. Still kinda disappointing to not even get Jaros a chance.

 

[RAFI BOMB]

I like Jaros and thought he had a good chance to carve out a role on the bottom pairing. I guess with the recent additions and drafting Sanderson and Kleven the organization didn't really see him as part of the future. Hopefully he can have a decent career elsewhere.

 

[Hale The Villain]

I don't mind this. We're finally the ones getting a pick in a swap.

Not expecting Kopacka to end up an NHLer.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Oh I read that wrong. That's a plus. Still kinda disappointing to not even get Jaros a chance.

I kinda agree, but evidently they feel like Zub is a better player than him.

I did/do think Jaros has #5 upside though, although he's failed to develop in the past few years.

I really doubt Jaros is any worse than Coburn, don't why we were so reluctant to give him a shot these past few seasons. Probably a bad trade.

He's probably not worse than Coburn, but we also didn't acquire Coburn because we wanted him. Coburn is here, thought, and he deserved a look. Either way, if management felt like Jaros was a viable option we could have gotten him into the lineup. Given that he just went through waivers, a 7th isn't a terrible return. I would have liked to see him get a shot, but if management didn't have that in their plans, I'm glad we got something back for him.

Weird trade. Surprised we moved out a defenceman after last game.

 

[Micklebot]

He’s big and fast and has the opportunity to develop into a useful bottom 6 player.

A 4th line who plays like Watson or Paul is valuable than a 2LW which can’t crack the top 6 and can’t defend.

He might be that for Belleville but he has a hell of a long way to go before he becomes anything close to Watson or Paul at the NHL level.

I think its far more likely we targetted the pick and he was just a contract to balance things out. After this season he won't be waiver exempt and have my doubts we'll extend him.

 

[aragorn]

He shoots left so I doubt he replaces Tkachuk, Stutzle, Paul or Formenton on the left side, but might be a good depth signing who could move up in the lineup. Jaros wasn't going anywhere in this org, now he gets a new start probably good for him. It's another minor league deal that does nothing for the parent team & smoke & mirrors move so fans think PD is actually doing something useful. At least he got a 7th back, surprised he didn't give another pick away.
