Julien wouldn’t be surprised to see Jerabek and McCarron return at some point
Claude Julien explained cutting defenceman Jakub Jerabek and forwards Michael McCarron, Dabiel Carr and Peter Holland prior to the Canadiens final preseason game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
On Jakub Jerabek
I think one of the reasons (he was cut) is that it’s his first time in North America and there’s an adjustment to make. We like the player; he skates well, he sees the ice well. But this will give him a chance to improve and get some more experience in terms of North American hockey.
He’s close (to the NHL). He’s a talented guy who has played in international tournaments, often against elite players. It’s very possible we’ll see him back here.
