Earlier today, the Capitals lost Taylor Chorney to Columbus on the waiver wire.
The team swiftly responded in blockbuster fashion, acquiring Jakub Jerabek (who?) from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a 2019 5th round pick.
With a very small sample size- 25 games- it is near impossible to judge this deal on its merits, but Jerabek has been a positive possession player on a really bad team. He also strung together a modest three game point streak, compiling his career to date offensive totals, capped by an assist on the go-ahead goal in January 19th's win over the Caps.
We are not sure what to expect from a third pair defenseman who was unable to stick on a team with a -37 goal differential, but he is probably an upgrade over Chorney.
We grade this trade: C
