Lightning have acquired Jean-Francois Jacques from the Panthers in exchange for future considerations.

Hmmmmmmmm... Crunch depth I would assume

Replaces Labrie's role in Syracuse.

At least that makes sense, depth for the Crunch.

He should do ok in that spot.

He played for the Crunch last season, maybe he's a fan favorite.

I'm reconsidering the truth of SFY's much publicized disdain for size and toughness, esp. after seeing Labrie's fists win the race against the puck drop in the opener. IINM two entire fights were completed before the clock moved off 20:00, so the ref had to skate over and TELL the timekeeper to tick a second off the clock. The game actually started with 19:59 left in the period

(I'm thinking if he hadn't done that, technically the players would have been subject to the vast penalties in place for not waiting until puck drop to begin fisticuffs...not certain but I believe a double minor plus a game misconduct, in addition to any penalties assessed for the fight itself)
