Yep. We have the tools to fix him.

A 3rd, too.

Yeah saw that too.

I got to wonder if Walsh had a hand in this trade.

Also his knee injury scares me. Look at the scouting reports before and after his knee injury. I hope to God Minnesota did their due diligence on his medical.

Buium, Faber and Jiricek. Nice.

Honestly, I'm just waiting for Walsh to gripe on twitter about Fleury seeing so few games. The only thing is that I think MAF wouldn't be too happy about it. He didn't seem pleased when Walsh posted the picture of Vegas stabbing him in the back.

Not a fan of Walsh. At all! Gaborik flashbacks.

I think even Fleury and his agent have to know that any game Fleury gets at this point is a gift

I get what you're saying and I'm not doubting it. But, the Ness's (Andy & his mom Diane) are supposed to be a couple of the best skating coaches in the game. I've no doubt the Wild will get Jiricek paired with them as soon as they can.

They will have to focus on pivoting. He’s not good at transitioning from closing a play down into backwards skating/defending. Additionally his backwards skating is poor enough that it impacts his gap control (looser gaps due to fear of getting beat wide). It’s gonna take time but I think he’s got an NHL future. Not sure why we “gave up” on him so soon, makes me think his agent asked for a trade.
