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
