I'll miss Jaro - I grew to appreciate his strange sense of humour and seemed like a great guy, and for that alone I'll miss him. I also remember him playing very well for us over long stretches when we needed it, and covering Ovechkin like crazy despite his age and declining speed. I definitely wish him the best and I hope he has a few years left in him, I think he has value as a solid bottom pairing vet for sure. I also think he stabilized our D before getting hurt and losing him hurt us, despite him not being a life saver by any means.
True. Yet, my favorite Spacek moment would be when we would be finally able to use the money to get something in the summer or re-sign our players.....After waiting all this time for this to happen.....we won't have the pleasure.

Don't worry, all we have to do is let Emelin sign with the Bruins or Leafs or something and that cap hit won't hurt us!

Jaro's playoff against the Caps was amazing. For that alone, we should be grateful to him.
Another player who took too much abuse for what he did. Helped his buddy hold the D together for 2 years. Was doing the same thing this year until injuries got in the way.
I'll never forget his goal against Pittsburgh in the playoffs.
Sucks for his family since they are probably settled with the holidays around the corner. It's a business I know but still sucks.
Total pro who was having a good but injury prone season. Likeable even though many people often called for his head, lol. Hopefully Kaberle is an upgrade. I thought he would've been a guy who could play here in addition to Spacek. Not sure what side Kaberle plays, but they could've formed an interesting Czech pairing.
Spacek gets to go drinks beers with Muller now and enjoy the easy life of playing Carolina in hockey. The warm weather will be good for his arthritis.
