Rumor: David Jiricek available

[Luigi Lemieux]

General Q - Does Waddell have any history of drafting/developing defenseman? I cant think of one defenseman from his tenure in Carolina that the drafted and developed (Pesce and Slavin drafted and debuted before Waddell was GM).

If that's the case, can we trust his ability to evaluate D talent?

But he did manage Carolina for years. That's a very mobile team and if that's his vision for the jackets then maybe Jiricek doesn't fit anyway.

yea he's great and IDing D and bringing them in. Just speculating if his regime is the best at knowing what he has in a developing D.

Interesting to think about, though probably means little lol
