buy all the czechs

 

[Empoleon8771]

Washington is trying to get as many scratch off lotto tickets as they can to fill their defense.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I feel like Jerabek is Kempy's buddy, otherwise it's a bit of an interesting move.

 

[sansabri]

Free asset, I guess.

 

[rent free]

wonder who will be waived from the caps blueline now

 

[HabsTown]

To me, Jerabek should have played above Benn, Morrow & Schlemko.

Decent #5-6.

 

[Soundgarden]

I swear I read that as Scherbak at first.

 

[Mr. Met]

America trying to recruit Czechs because they lost to them at the olympics

Nobody. It's to replace Chorney

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

Building block for something bigger imho.

 

[hockeykicker]

Probably means caps have a deal for orpik lol

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Can Jerabek or Kempny play the right side.

 

[izzy]

build up that blueline depth

Nobody. It's to replace Chorney

oh. believed the kempny trade was to replace jerabek

 

[NewtJorden]

That feels like what they did to Jiri Sekac a few years back.

 

[Hostile Offer]

What? Why? And Morrow is still with us? Come on MB.

 

[BarD2428]

Some info on him. Seems like a #7 D (6 if need be)

 

[Lebowski]

We haven't see a lot of Jerabek for some unknown reason with the Habs, but he's a pretty good puck mover, and he seems smart enough defensively.

From what I've seen, he should have been 4th on our defense depth chart this season, 3rd with Weber's injury. But he was a healthy scratch. Go figure.

 

[Maukkis]

All your depth defensemen are belong to us.

 

[saxonmiller]

JJ is a solidpuck-mover for a 5-6. Started the year off in Laval and should have played more minutes for the Habs. I feel as though he will do great in WSH.

 

[PensandCaps]

I thought he was one of Montreal's better Dmen...when I watched at least.

 

[Lebowski]

I thought he was one of Montreal's better Dmen...when I watched at least.

He was.

To be fair, that probably says more about our defense than it does about Jerabek, but he seems like a solid 3rd pairing PMD nonetheless.

 

[bob27]

Caps are czeching all the boxes.

 

[Mike Jones]

And the so-called experts were saying there were no buyers...
