Jerabek is coming off his first season in the KHL after spending the previous eight playing for Plzen HC of the Czech Elite League. The 25-year-old played 59 games for Chekhov Vityaz where he finished fourth in defenseman assists (29) and fifth in points (34).
The move comes after the team inked Alexander Radulov to a one-year deal this past season. Radulov went on to finish second on the team in scoring with 18 goals and 54 points in 76 games.
