Is today the day we do something stupid in an attempt to salvage the season?

Gotta feel like its coming shortly. I think at best it doesn't happen til after the holidays but for some reason I think Trotz is convinced the issue is the players, not his garbage head coach.

Sounds like Jiricek may be a pred as early as tomorrow. Lots of smoke but as always sometimes these things happen, sometimes they don't.

I wouldn't put much stock in Hockee Rumorz or whoever that reported that.

We will see.

There are more legitimate sources reporting that we are sniffing around Jiricek which makes sense given our defense. But he isnt going to be a big help this season.

It doesn't matter, Brunette won't play him anyways.

 

[Scoresberg]

Seravalli also reporting that a move is "relatively imminent".

He will if he has the grit

Jiricek just doesn't seem at all to me like the kind of player the Bruno/Trotz regime goes for? A young guy who might have a bit of an entitled attitude and not ready to pay his dues? Um...

I don't know, the whole thing is very dysfunctional and illogical here atm, but I guess on the flip side maybe if they trade for him, he is "Their Guy", so that will trump any of the other issues with his age or attitude?

He's a downgrade to Fabbro in the short term, just look at how the Jackets handled it.

If we make a "big BT move", I still think it will be to bring in another 32+ year old winger.
