Value of: David Jiricek

[OrrNumber4]

What do the Sharks offer

What if the Sharks take Gudbranson and Merzlikins, add a goalie (like Kakhonen), Pittsburgh's first, a B/C prospect, and then Filip Bystedt? I'm not familiar with CBJ's finances to know how much they value the savings

 

[Cowumbus]

Byram+ for Jiricek+


Of course only under the premise of Jiricek specifically requesting a trade. If he doesn't Columbus isn't going to move him at all.

No thanks

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

No way should Columbus trade him i would easily offer Reinbacher + for Jiricek

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

Smartest thing for the Blue Jackets would be to keep Jiricek and punt Kekalainen. He's been there over 10 years, has won one playoff series, is going to be 4 straight years without the playoffs and he should have already been gone after the stupid Babcock hire.

They have a solid group of young guys and could have a quick turnaround if they make a good hire for GM and coach.

Curious but what individuals do you think are available right now and meet that criteria?

For instance the coaching position - I am looking at available individuals and don't see anyone who would be a clear upgrade over Vincent and isn't a huge gamble. Not that I think very highly of Vincent, but the list of available coaches is pretty bleak...

 

[Dion TheFluff]

I'd be more than willing to do Knies + our 1st for him. Not sure if that's quite enough though?

For coach, I think someone like Jay Woodcroft would be a good option for Columbus.

On the GM side I don't know a lot of the candidates, but a guy like Eric Tulsky seems like a good option.

Blackhawks offer 2024 Tampa 1st rd pick, 2024 2nd rd pick (currently #33) 2025 1st rd pick, Lucas Reichel, and Wyatt Kaiser or Nolan Allen.

thread would also be 15 pages longer lol

15 pages and 21 years

 

[Cheddarcheese]

if we are trading Jiricek and your team is trading for him, think about a player that you wouldn't trade. that's what it would take to get him

 

[Czechboy]

I’d offer Hogwarts School, the Death Star, and a SHEILD Helicarrier

Theres as much chance of me getting those as there is of CBJ moving Jiricek

Maybe the School of Rock would make it possible?

No, that's not even going to get them to respond to the opening offer.

Wideman...do we have a deal?

I think you're underestimating how much GM's value big powerforwards around the league.

 

[Juxtaposer]

What do the Sharks offer

I would propose something around Will Smith. Could even things out value-wise around using lesser picks/prospects/cap dumps. Columbus was supposedly really high on Smith, so probably this would be palatable for Columbus if they were willing to move Jiricek for a forward.

Really, what Columbus should do is fire Jarmo right this second—waiting until the end of the season would be idiotic. You want to have sufficient time to go through the proper hiring process, let your new GM get acclimated, talk to the scouts, and hire his own staff. It never works out to hire your GM right before the draft.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Of course that's how it has to go. Because otherwise there's no greedy poaching dreams to be had.


Seriously. The sole and exclusive reason anybody is taking this as anything at all other than "player is disappointed at going to the AHL" is because it's Columbus and folks don't believe we have a right to exist and have our own guys. That's it. That's all it is.

JFC get over yourselves.

Young player is upset at historically disorganized and unsuccessful franchise for sending him down. Naturally trade rumors start.

I think you are undervaluing how many wingers Columbus has, even some with size. Trading a defenseman of that value for a winger as the main piece does next to nothing

How attractive is it to take laines contract??

 

[Cowumbus]

How attractive is it to take laines contract??

A Wisconsin 7, so a New York 5 - not very attractive.

 

[thebus88]

Jiricek for Mavrik Bourque

Would be awesome from this CBJ fans pov.

 

[jjniner]

Don’t want to trade Snuggerud, but would include him!

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Is Columbus starting to overvalue Jiricek?

 

[majormajor]

I could see Jarmo being all over that.

Personally I think Smith is such a naturally one-way guy, that it just takes the Jackets too far in that direction. The team is already lacking in structured two-way play, I don't think Smith is a fit.

How about Bedard. Well throw in a first. Top 2 protected.
