Edmonton Oilers | Aberg, Gagner, and Jerabek
October 1st, 2018 The Edmonton Oilers might be over in Germany preparing to kick off the start of their 2018-19 season, but there's still plenty of work to do back home. The Oilers were busy waiving defenseman Jakub Jerabek and forward Pontus Aberg after wrapping up their final preseason game in North America. Jerabek has since been traded to the St....
Oilers Trade Jerabek to Blues
October 1st, 2018 The Edmonton Oilers have traded defender Jakub Jerabek to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick, the Oilers announced Monday.

Bergevin’s Record With Overseas Talent
May 29th, 2018 Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin got a head start at free agency by inking two Czech defensemen this week. Both David Sklenicka, 21, and Michal Moravcik, 23, signed deals with the Habs after impressive showings at the 2018 IIHF World Championship. As teammates with Plzen HC in the Czech Extraliga, both are left-handed...
Diligent Depth Defenders the Canucks Could Target
May 15th, 2018 If there was a glaring weakness on the Vancouver Canucks' roster last year, it was that big black hole on defence. Although Travis Green's up-tempo style resulted in more offensive chances, the Canucks' defence was more porous than that of the 2016-17 squad—not a dubious designation considering that the Canucks gave up the...
Capitals' Jerabek, Kempny Talk Transition to DC
March 24th, 2018 When defensemen Jakub Jerabek and Michal Kempny were traded to the Washington Capitals at the trade deadline, both took the time to adjust to new teammates and a new city, even taking the time to explore the monuments; it marked Kempny's first time seeing the White House, and also helped Jerabek ponder the trade and spend time...
Canadiens Win Jerabek Deal with Capitals… Barely
February 21st, 2018 The Montreal Canadiens absolutely did not get good value for defenseman Jakub Jerabek, by acquiring a 2019 fifth-round pick from the Washington Capitals. They still came out ahead with the deal… albeit slightly. The Pick Is Gravy As a pending unrestricted free agent, the 26-year-old Jerabek was potentially not going to return to...

February 21st, 2018 The Washington Capitals have acquired defenseman Jakub Jerabek from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2019 fifth-round pick, the team announced Wednesday.

Which Canadiens Defensemen Should Stay or Go?
January 25th, 2018 Much like the roads of their home city, the Montreal Canadiens’ defensive corps is in dire need of reconstructive surgery. Having allowed 3.08 goals per game, the Habs consistently find themselves at the mercy of other teams and the goaltending of Carey Price, which has been far from stellar this season. Assuming general manager...
Jerabek Enjoying Transition to the NHL
January 18th, 2018 After recording his first two National Hockey League points versus the New York Islanders in a 5-4 overtime loss on Monday, Montreal Canadiens defenceman Jakub Jerabek notched another personal feat against the Boston Bruins Wednesday night at TD Garden arena. Very early into the first period, 31 seconds in to be exact, Jerabek scored...
Christmas Gift Ideas for the Montreal Canadiens
December 23rd, 2017 You’ve done just about all your holiday shopping, but still don’t know what to get that one Montreal Canadien in your life. Don’t fret. The Hockey Writers have got you covered*: Charles Hudon Literally his front teeth. Victor Mete: A gold-medal-worthy-performance at the World Juniors to force the Habs to keep him up in the...
Canadiens Defenseman Mete Must Go
November 26th, 2017 While Victor Mete has been a revelation for the Montreal Canadiens, all his continued presence serves to prove is the team's organizational ineptitude. Mete a Healthy Scratch You would have to believe the only reason the 19-year-old Mete is still with the Canadiens is that Shea Weber is out with a lower-body injury. Of course, in...
Waiting for the Future: Canadiens' Defence Prospects
November 24th, 2017 One of general manager Marc Bergevin's mantras is that you can never have too many defencemen. That philosophy has been obvious through the Canadiens' draft choices over the last few years. In 2016, four of six picks were defencemen. In 2017, it was four of seven. Montreal's defence hasn't been good this season so it’s understandable...
Victor Mete May Not Stay with Canadiens
October 7th, 2017 Montreal Canadiens defenseman Victor Mete’s nickname of Meat is clearly ironic. He’s anything but a plug in the long term. That much is clear based on his training camp, which led him to get playing time beside No. 1 defenseman Shea Weber. Short term, though? It’s quite possible the Canadiens see him as a placeholder. A Numbers...
