Confirmed Trade: [MTL/WSH] Jakub Jerabek for 2019 5th round pick

[MasterMatt25]

Sekac trade all over again.

Habs fans will complain about it a lot, but he's not as good as most think he is

He's nothing more than a bottom pairing d for sure but it's kinda like a wtf why kinda trade

 

[Hockey Stick]

So it's going to be that kind of trade deadline for the habs again eh? Grrreeeeeaaaaat.....

 

[M C D A V I D]

I read this as Jakub Voracek initially lol

 

[Wats]

It's not like Habs would have developed him anyways.

 

[ManwithNoIdentity]

Guess this means no Green to Wash?

 

[Ridley Simon]

Guess this means no Green to Wash?

Thank GOD

 

[Elfward7]

How many contracts does MTL have? What if it’s related to a greater trade. I doubt it though. Mediocrity likely continues.

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

Jerabek must jumping up and down with joy right now. He just left the most dysfunctional team in the league.

Maybe he'll still end up a bust but at least, he won't sit for inferior players like Schlemko, Morrow and the multi-million pylon, Karl Alzner.

would have been pretty much impossible even without these trades because of the cap

 

[didimentionlarseller]

is Bergevin good at anything other than wasting time with marginal grinder players trades that seem to do nothing for the Habs other than remind him of his own status as a nothing player of no significance

 

[Melkor]

From what I've seen, Caps should put almost anyone in the lineup instead of Bowey. If they have any hope to make it past the 2nd rd they shouldn't have him among their best 6 D come playoffs time. He's that bad. Of course, I would get rid of Orpik first but who cares anymore, that contract is unmovable unless you adding a 1st to it.

 

[3rdLiner]

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.

Julien hates pmd. To play on his third pairing you need to be a very responsible, veteran pmd who is past his prime and lost a bit more than 1/2 a step.

 

[WinterLion]

Bowey...

Yes... thought you meant Jerebek for a minute!

He already told you, trades are hard. Set your expectations accordingly.

Also, he's fantastic at getting 3rd and 5th round picks.

ummm... didn't he bring in Krug in Boston? He also seems to like Mete...

Jerebek made some big mistakes with the habs... and this team is very fragile and crap... he'll do better on WAS, but I don't blame Julien for not playing him more. Plus he's UFA in July.

 

[montreal]

Really liked what I saw from Jerabek at Laval, don't understand why they didn't play him more in the NHL but they suck at developing players so I guess I'm not surprised. Good luck to him with the Caps.

 

[Fazkovsky]

He is ok he is ufa so no we got something for him

I woulda kept a jerabek-Juulsen pairing in the future and keep Morrow as a 7th d

Krug is literally the only exception. All other pmds were ignored and had the corpse of Andrew meszarosh play over them.

Bergevin and Julien really seem to have trouble these days, with their judgements...this guy is better than Morrow, Benn, and Schlemko...and yet they didn't play him?

Of all the guys on the D squad, they trade Jerabek, the least bad. But you guessed it - Julien didn't like him.

I heard he didn't like Russians too that is why the Habs lost Sergachev, Radulov, Markov and Emelin last summer.

maybe they are too old school? I don't know what they are doing but it's not just Jerabek that should have played more. Not only should Carr be playing every game, he should have been called up much sooner since he was playing great in the AHL and they so badly needed scoring at a time when the season wasn't already over. DLR even though he has really struggled to do much of anything should be playing every game as well since what do you have to lose, more games? Just don't get what they are trying to do, guess we'll see how it works out.

It's been hard to keep the faith, and trust these guys to make the right decisions...

That's because all the Habs have talent wise are players that can only bring back 3rd to 5th rounders!

 

[crowi]

I thought he was a great player from what habs fans said before? What happened? He sucks? Never trust homers.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Green not needed, Czechs will suffice.
