Rumor: David Jiricek available

[TheNumber4]

Ah, the ol he stinks but I want him strategy.

I’m really on the fence. I dismissed Jiricek entirely 2 days ago for his warts. He’s not a home run for a contender looking for a sure bet on the right side for a Cup Run.

I’ll let Columbus fans weigh in but I doubt many will like this.

I watched a lot of Savoie in MJ after the trade by default as I tried to catch as many of their games as I could to watch Mateychuk and experience fun hockey since CBJ hockey was not that last year. Just like it has by everyone else in this thread it's a pass for me fairly easily. I don't think anyone has seen it and thought it's a good idea outside of Edmonton

Jiricek for Simashev

Jiricek for Rossi

Jiricek for Wallstedt

Jiricek for Pens 1st (only lottery win protected)

Those are acceptable in my books

lol get real! Wild aren’t trading wallstedt and he’s not worth Wallstedt. He’s not worth Rossi either unless starting C is coming back

There’s nothing suggesting Wallstedt is worth much more given his recent struggles, but Columbus goalie situation is dire and we need improvement there

lol funny stuff. Wallstedt isn’t struggling. He’s not doing great as wild ahl team sucks. He’s beyond untouchable for wild, get real dude. You aren’t getting wallstedt from wild

Detroit shouldn't trade ASP. Anyone else and their top 4 is looking like Seider, Erv, Asp and Jiricek in 2 years. Good lord would that be a top 4 in 2026.

I just don’t see Yzerman getting involved in anything similar to a Drouin situation. Where, if it’s true, a kid and his agent are trying to dictate development.

The fit would be great though. To have those 3 for the next 7-10 years? Detroit would be very hard to matchup against. Then ASP would likely come in and have tons of extra space, to do his thing. He’d be the one who’d play the left side btw..

You’d have to think it would cost something like Wallinder and Rasmussen.

Interesting BTW, yesterday heard some talk that Rasmussen was almost traded this past weekend. I just figured, if true, it was Calgary or Seattle. Calgary cause I know Conroy likes him from last year talk, and they’re looking, or Seattle because they’ve been watching DET too much recently. DET has also been watching Coachella Valley and Seattle recently from what I understand. Was just assuming Rasmussen or Copp to Seattle for Gourde (because of the Yzerman connection) and a prospect. Know DET has gone out of their way to watch Winterton for a long time now, and actually surprised they didn’t draft him.

Anyway, maybe it was in a deal with Columbus instead. One of the media guys did say Columbus was close this past weekend.

I still find it hard to believe Yzerman would be in on this. Detroit still loves over marinating prospects. They’d have to really believe In Jiricek, and have the confidence he’d go down to Grand Rapids “IF” they believe he needs it.

Something we do see btw, when prospects have done this. McGroarty recently.

He’s most definitely touchable after the Gus emergence

Iowa sucks but Wallstedt IS struggling. He’s probably a fair return for Jiricek in a vacuum, but CBJ isn’t dealing from a position of strength so they likely don’t get full value.

You think the Rasmussen trade thing is something they revisit down the line? I think Detroit fans would be very okay with giving him up at this point, all though we’d probably prefer It be for a defenseman.

Columbus isn't going to deal him if we're not getting his full value? And why wouldn't they get full value, he's torn up the AHL when he's been there, he's only struggled in the NHL, which goes for just about every 20yr old dman ever. He's gonna continue to play in the AHL and continue to raise his value further. This is only forced if Jiricek decides he doesn't want to keep playing. But he's not good enough(NHL ready enough) to do that. Look at what happened to Mcgroarty...

Jiricek for Rossi

Jiricek for Wallstedt

You’re gonna be disappointed.

 

[Empoleon8771]

Jiricek for Simashev

Jiricek for Rossi

Jiricek for Wallstedt

Jiricek for Pens 1st (only lottery win protected)

Those are acceptable in my books

Do you meant this as in #1 protected or top-3 protected?

Either way, I can't see the Penguins going for either of those. If they had #10 at the draft, I could see #10 for Jiricek straight up. But they're not going to trade the pick as-is because it's entirely possible that the pick will be too high to justify trading for Jiricek, even if they don't win the lottery.

A lottery protected 1st could mean as high as 4th this year, and protecting the pick this year likely means that the 2026 pick would be unprotected. The only way I'd trade a 1st right now is if it would be indefinitely top-5 protected, so the Penguins could keep pushing the pick back until they're not picking in the top-5.

 

[ole ole]

Demidov might do. 5th pick for 6th pick, seems like a fair deal to me

In your dreams but i would like to get a shot at him. Just be a little more realistic on what it might take.

If we give up Jiricek for a goalie I'll be pissed I don't care who it is.
