Rumor: David Jiricek available

[Peter Griffin]

Has anyone else touched the "trade imminent" report of Seravalli or are we all just waiting to see if Frank is right?

He did say in the next 24-48 hours.

I think the Penguins would almost assuredly be adding assets on top of Pettersson to get that deal done. I don't think Mynio and a 1st for Jiricek gets it done.

But at that point, why would Columbus be trading Jiricek for quantity? Like I said, I'm skeptical that kind of deal would get done.

Others are saying "hockey trade" so like many have suggested it will probably be a similar level prospect 1 for 1 and maybe a small pick one way or the other.

If he has to be traded I dont know why they don't wait and try and add him in a big deal for an established guy but if we go off what's actually out there we will see a top prospect for top prospect swap

It probably doesn’t, I’m just saying it’s a silly idea that Vancouver would choose the impending UFA they may not be able to re-sign rather than the big, RHD that was a recent 6th overall pick.

I understand but that wasn't my question

To answer your question, no.

I feel confident because that tweet would have been posted 3, or 4 times and I hadn't seen anyone else say something similar with a given timeline.

I'm sure if it doesn't happen it's because there's a "new" player who jumped into the mix

Wasn’t he benched and sent down last year? Haven’t kept up with either Jacket this year. I know KJ is a local product so hence the offer/ask.

he got injured late last year (required surgery), looked dynamite for his first few games under a new staff, then got hurt again, came back, and… looked even better.

kj has 9 points in 6 games this year and looks like a star. he's also on a 3-year bridge at $1.8m AAV. he is arguably one of the most untouchable pieces in the sport imo.

Flyers should definitely be in on this; they’ve got ammo

Some combination of pieces I’d put on the table:

Farabee
Frost
Foerster
Drysdale
3 1sts
3 2nds

You have a blank among your ammo on table there

Drysdale is injured again and has been horrific when healthy for Flyers. Hard to see Jackets having interest in that

But maybe I am wrong, and they make same mistake Flyers did

Shane Wright or Zegras seem plausible if it’s a one for one. Couple guys who are stalled in their growth. Similar to Juricek.
