Caps acquire Jaskin

(1/6) > >>

4 Caps:
in anticipation that Wilson is facing a lengthy suspension the Caps claimed Dimitij Jaskin who the Blues put on waivers.  He is suppose to be a defensive minded forward who plays a physical style of hockey.  Last season he had 207 hits which was the 18th most in the league.  Although he was born in Russia it appears that he grew up in the Czech Republic as he played junior hockey there and played for the Czech Republic in international tournaments.  This could be another shrewd move by BMac.

Claiming a player off waivers from a team that didn’t make the playoffs isn’t “shrewd” by any stretch of the imagination.  “As the video clearly shows”, thinking he’d be any kind of replacement for Willie is just ridiculous. 

Not to often do you hear “it’s fortunate that he went down” after ab NHL fight

I don't think anyone was implying Jaskin would be a replacement for Wilson, but rather a part time fill in for some toughness.
I thought you, of all folks, would appreciate the Caps trying to add a little toughness during Willy's absence.

i would love me to, but Jaskins just doesn’t count as toughness by a long shot.
