Jerabek traded to Capitals

Re: Jerabak traded to Capitals

So people bitch about habs losing players for nothing. And then when they trade someone who they may lose for nothing this summer, people freak out and say it’s a stupid trade.

Wow.

Wow.

5th round pick two years from now is pretty much losing him for nothing is it not?

It's a matter of who they choose to move. They(to date) keep morrow, Benn and Schlemko, but trade Jerabek, a puck moving defenseman that the team needs.

I mean, yeah, great that they get something for him, better than losing him for nothing, but it's not exactly inspiring confidence that this team is aware of what it needs to get better.

Good point. For some reason I didn't realize that he was only signed for the year.

If this is the only move they make, it's terrible. Hopefully they make a lot more and stockpile some picks and prospects.
 
Re: Jerabak traded to Capitals

Yeah trading him and getting something instead of losing him for nothing doesn't have anything to do with why I'm mad about this trade.

It's the keeping and playing four other defencemen that are worse than him.

Half of that statement is correct. He is a puck-moving d-man. But they don't really need him.

Ok I’m playing devils advocate cause I in no way like it usually agree with our management.

How do you know that they didn’t try to move Morrow and nobody wanted him? Same with the others? What if multiple of those are moved between now and the deadline. I honestly don’t think Jerabek would be our key to a cup in 5-7 years. So why not, what’s to lose?

The defense needs to be torn down and rebuilt almost from scratch. If the trade deadline passes and they keep Benn, Schlemko and Morrow, to go along with the two unmoveables in Weber and Alzner, yeah, it's going to be a disaster.

Might be time to find a new pastime if you're "mad" about this trade.

I don't mind the trade, I mind how we misused the player. I'm fine with the trade.
