Confirmed with Link: Jerabek to Caps for a 5th in 2019

[Crusher117]

Only a 5th in 2019?! He's got potential. Thought the return would be a bit better. He's gonna fit real nice with the Caps.

 

[Bieber fever]

Not saying he was a top 4 but he was habs’s 4th best defensman after Weber , Petry and Mete

 

[sandviper]

From an contract management perspective, he wasn’t cracking the line-up so we free up a roster spot and get a draft pick for a pending UFA.

That said, I thought he was good enough to be a bottom pairing guy on our team and maybe bring some offense from that pair. Makes no sense given how much we are hurting on the left side.

Anyhow, this is all fine and dandy, but how about fixing the problems we have on the team MB?

 

[Alex514]

Bravo bergy.... another stupid move

 

[Lebowski]

Marinaro asked Dan Robertson if Jerebek is good enough for the Caps to acquire why wasn't he good enough to play for the Habs. European free agents won't sign with the Habs again.

To be fair that's what I thought after the Sekac fiasco.

Apparently word hasn't got out in Eastern Europe that the Habs aren't the franchise they used to be.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Makes no sense...
One of our few good defenseman at moving the puck, and we trade him.

 

[jaffy27]

He was better than Benn, Morrow and Schlemko in my book

I'm expecting two of the three to be traded

 

[sheed36]

Wanna bet they sign morrow to an extension soon?

I could see it happen. Morrow to Julien is the same as Bouillon to MT. Every coach as that one guy they love and no one knows why.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Who needs Jerabek, more Joe Morrow. No idea what Julien sees in that guy.

Agreed. I suspect they like Morrow's puck mobility and turn a blind eye to how bad he is in our own end.

Makes perfect sense. Puck movers need not apply to the Habs.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

Makes no sense...

It’s the dawn of the Joe Morrow era. Sit back and enjoy.

 

[Le Tricolore]

Bergevin is a terrible, terrible GM. Can't wait to trade Galchenyuk for a 2nd.

 

[Whitesnake]

Usually, I'd write that it makes no sense. Put in context, with the clowns in charge, it makes perfect sense.

 

[Gabe84]

Shit resource management by GM and Coach.

 

[donghabs98]

Let's move out the only promising defenseman asides from Mete. Sounds that's in line with the logic Bergevin has done with this season

 

[WeThreeKings]

Lmao. Good move for the Caps

 

[varsaku]

Really, that’s the best offer MB could get for Jerabek!

 

[Mrb1p]

Bergevin can't make a good move to save his life. The last good move he made was bringing it Jerabek and now he freaking sends him out for a fifth

 

[Tuggy]

Only six healthy D now. Lernout coming up?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Rather of kept him. 2019 5th is no big deal and the Caps are getting a guy who will provide depth for the playoffs. There should be a conditional on this trade if Jerabek re-signs with them IMO.

 

[jaffy27]

Bergevin is a terrible, terrible GM. Can't wait to trade Galchenyuk for a 2nd.

2nd overall?

 

[Lebowski]

Really, that’s the best offer MB could get for Jerabek!

He was a recurrent healthy scratch on a team fighting for the 1st overall pick... That doesn't really drive a player's value up.

 

[jackeymoon]

Only six healthy D now. Lernout coming up?

God please no. Lernout is just awful

 

[sheed36]

Please don't stop there Marc.. You have loads more junk you've acquired you should look to move out yet.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

I wonder if he let the team know He won’t resign in the summer and I don’t blame him. I can’t see any other reason why they stopped playing him and dealt him for nothing
