Player Discussion: David Jiricek

Yea what?

Am I missing something.


Evangelista would be sick trade for Jiricek. This team will always need scoring long term.

We have plenty of 2nd line and lower caliber players now and in the future. Wouldn't be excited in the slightest by an Evangelista trade

Eh, in today's NHL it's 3 line hockey. Evangelista is a potential 25+ goal scorer. Not sure what you expect to get for Jiricek but can't imagine it's far from that. Evangelista would be a good piece to add to the bunch.

What position would Columbus need the most?

Not even close to what I'd want. Besides I'd be more expecting of a major offseason trade as Waddell is known to do if a trade does happen. I still think a trade is pure stupidity anyway

Ideally another RHD, to be honest

Biggest weak points are goaltending present and maybe long-term (altho Ivanov is looking really good ) and RD long-term (presuming a Jiricek trade, of course). Aside from that, most of what we're trying to do is get kids and thus the roster as a whole up to speed promptly, which ends up prompting interest in Specific Guys On The Rise We Like.

A 26-year old center who the previous two seasons scored 89 & 102 points? Why would no one want him?

His play has fallen off since he signed his extension (going back to last season). Less than a point per game. $11.6m AAV and possibly a questionable attitude from what I have read.

Certainly has value. Just don't see the need for a team like the CBJ to commit that many resources (AAV and term) to a player of his caliber.

As far as I've heard, there's suspsicion that he's been injured. Sounds like a buy-low type of situation. Though I doubt Vancouver would actually be foolish enough to move on from Pettersson.

I was looking at recent top 10ish draft picks who could be involved in a trade for Jiricek. There might be adds on some of these, but if we generally follow a top pick for top pick model, these are some names I could see. I tried to avoid D for D trade, because why? But Reinbacher might make sense. I picked Kasper over Danielson from Detroit because I think they would rather hold on to Danielson.

2021
Tyler Boucher - I don’t see the Jackets (or anyone) having interest

2022
Shane Wright - progressing comparatively slowly
Marco Kasper - progressing comparatively slowly
Matthew Savoie - progressing comparatively slowly

2023
David Reinbacher - knee injury, fans now hate the pick
Ryan Leonard - might want a young offensive RD in system as potential Carlson replacement
Dalibor Dvorsky - might want potential high end RD in system, drafted his brother

What about Noah Dobson or Braden Schneider?
