Confirmed Trade: [MIN/CBJ] David Jiricek, 2025 5th round pick for Daemon Hunt, 2025 1st round pick, 2027 2nd round pick, 2026 3rd and 4th round picks

[voyageur]

If he belonged in the AHL in Columbus there's no doubt that's where he's going in Minni.

I think he starts on the Wild. Doesn't have to play right away but the Wild have a 35 year old and 34 year old d-man on the right side ahead of him, and they may not hold up the length of the season. Easy enough for the Wild to send down one of their earlier waived players on the 4th line.

Providing Juricek is a pkayer. He’s not proven to be one yet, hence the poor offers to acquire him.

He’s pretty much dominating AHL. He’s a player that needs time

 

[BillDineen]

L for Danny B on this. I am sure the Flyers are overrating their D prospects and younger D playing

 

[WarriorofTime]

My gut reaction is this is a big win for the Wild. With their start to the season and the '25 Draft not being too deep, I don't think that pick will be too valuable. Hunt is just a guy getting an extended tryout to see if he's worth a 1-way contract next year. Future 2nd and future 4th are what they are.

Lots of insecure fans in this thread. The Hutson theory. Every discussion on HF will eventually converge to a poster slandering Hutson or calling him Orr reincarnated.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

The trade deserves a new thread. Nobody wants to read 40 pages to get to the actual deal.

Seems a heavy price for Minnesota but if Jiricek develops to his ceiling their D core will be great.

Jordan Harris is from a trash organization with no clue what it means to produce an actual defenseman. Let alone a team interested in how to defend or transition. Maybe one player on that team plays on the Wild’s blue line right now. Also a team that takes up most of the bandwidth of this site talking about prospects that every other team possesses.

I’d trust Minnesota knows a hell of a lot more on what they are doing with their defenseman at every level than that organization.

I'd say I'll believe it when I see it but that would be dishonest. I wouldn't have bothered claiming him on waivers. He's done f***-all and there's literally nowhere for him to play even if he had.

 

[Viqsi]

A 1, 2, and 4 is hardly nothing. I get we took him at 6 but he's just never going to be an average NHL skater. That's not getting into the perceived attitude issues(which I still think is more Walsh than Jiricek).

Think they're getting a potential very good second pair bomb from the point guy. We got a haul for that. I ain't mad. Let's package some picks for help sooner than later.

A late 1 in a crap draft that everyone knows is crap and the other picks are in 2027. It's nothing. Not a single one of those assets will amount to a single damn thing for the Jackets.

 

[JohanFranzenstein]

Wild are about to be a wagon, my god

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

So now a lot of the comments from Columbus fans in this thread seem pretty f***ed up.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Man if CBJ didn't have Fantili the fans would be on suicide watch right about now.

At this rate, how long before he asks for a trade out though? Can't imagine he'd be happy being part of a forever rebuild.

The jackets need to be aggressive in parlaying these and other assets into something better or it's a terrible look for them.

Wull I'll take tomorrow's lottery number then! .

Maybe I'm too optimistic because I wasn't super high on Jiriceks potential compared to other jackets fans.

I still hope we package some picks for help closer to now than way in the future.

You'll have to pardon us for assuming that our GM was minimally competent.

In what world is -24 in 88 games a "dominant" performance.

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Not a bad move for Wild imo... i like it

thought the sharks would be all over this

 

[beardawg]

Almost every team in the league could've offered more for a 6OA, young RHD, no? Did Columbus get fleeced or is this indicative of how teams view his game?

 

[Fro]

The bright spot, I dont think we have any Allan Walsh clients left on the club...he has literally gotten them all moved from cbus

 

[Fatass]

There have been lots of guys to do well in the AHL who weren’t able to transfer that lower level success to the nhl. IMO Juricek will be a for sure nhl D man. It’s what role he fits best? Bottom pairing guy or top four? The offers for him reflected the same question. Seems like a fair trade, considering.

Yeah, they must’ve just wanted to get rid of the kid.

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

The bolded is incorrect. This is a complete trash return. We basically gave him away for nothing.

Haha, I thought you were going to argue against me instead of conceding. Surprised to see you go beyond conceding!

It's not a great package but it's pretty standard or even generous for a formerly blue chip prospect who hasn't really made progress in the last couple years.

Minnesota has a 1.038 5v5 PDO btw. No team has actually ever maintained that over a full season since those metrics have been tracked. And they've done that with a 40 year old goalie in net. I wouldn't be surprised to see that 1st round pick wind up a lot higher than it currently is.

Well...not nothing (Fabbro )

 

[Doublerum1975]

Minnesota is so loaded up and down their organization. Guerin doing a great job.

I remember when everyone was crapping on him for those suter and praise buyouts

Blind squirrel.

It's not a heavy price, it's a very shallow draft. Outside of the top 7-8, the next fifty players or so are fairly exchangeable.
