   His current number is certainly available and a lot of people will only have to change a nameplate!

   For a 4th, its a solid move.
   However, I hope this isn’t the token move that I’ve been expecting to be able to say “we’re making an effort”.
   In either case, a lot of Boston fans are upset. Some wanted closer to a 2nd or so for him. He might have fetched that at the deadline.

   Great trade. THN seemingly considers it a steal:

   Good deal. Many in the Boston nation really like him as a prospect. Nice for the caps to take a flyer on him and see how plays for the balance of the season. I do remember in the couple of caps/boston games that he was pretty physical in the corners.

   More information, from the Bruins’ announcement of signing Jurcina in August (as a Bruins RFA):

   He played three seasons of junior hockey with Halifax in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League with 19-34=53 totals and 216 PIM in 180 career junior games. Drafted by Boston as their seventh pick (eighth round), 241st overall, in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, the 6’4

   I HOPE people change the nameplate! I’m so sick of seeing frickin’ Caps Jagr jerseys, years after he’s gone!

   He can have Eminger’s spot for all I care. And not to be mean, but someone needs to take Heward out back and put him out of his misery. Slow of mind and just plain slow, respectively.
   Five to one in the 2nd. Against Florida. It … just … hurts.

   This move is a good one for the future, at least in so far as the pick given up would have likely yielded as much, and Jurcina is further along in development.
   The move is certainly consistent with McPhee’s panning-for-gold approach of picking up undervalued young and hulking d-men which come real cheap – like league minimum cheap. I guess being -5 with 10 min avg per game is not bad for a team that’s given up almost 50 goals more than its scored. Not that its gospel, but the “must play with more passion” line from tsn.ca is disturbing.
   More immediately though, it seems to be a move that spells the end of playoff hockey for our Caps this year. (Not that the third consecutive disaster against the Cats didn’t already seal that fate – how to explain that?) Pothier seems to be out for the long term. We can only hope he’s healthy and concussion free for next season.
   For now I’m going to enjoy episodes like Shanny speaking for “captain” Jagr. What a joke for the ages that such a suck like Jagr wears the C for an original 6 team, not to mention leading ANY team, at a professional level.

   Jagr issues aside…Milan will rock the house in Washington. He will be a top 2 d-man in the organization in 2-3 seasons. You heard it here first!
