Value of: David Jiricek

[Bender]

Neighbours for Jiricek is a poor man's Shanahan for Pronger. Note I said poor man's

Bankrupt man's ?

 

[Breakers]

I think Columbus would be nuts to trade him but he's not playing anywhere. Just sitting in press boxes in the NHL watching Jack Johnson play.

Oilers offer Matt Savoie and our 1st.

We got a spot for you David!

Damn thats rough
if he got beat out by any d-man under 30....... then so be it

but soon to be 38 year old slow as frank Jack Johnson........ ooofffff

 

[SRHRangers]

Would gladly give up any prospect not Perrault, and a NYR 1st for Jiricek. Safe, calculated gamble.

He can play behind Fox and Schneider, and learn from one of the better RHD in the world .

 

[PocketNines]

Bankrupt man's ?

Neighbours is future captain material so no from his side

 

[Viqsi]

Doesn't seem to be any reason to panic trade him for a lesser asset. He's a huge, toolsy RHD who is still 20 years-old. That's almost the prototype for "be patient and under no circumstance, trade this player during their uneven early development phase".

So unless there is actually some bridges burnt - why?

Simon Edvinsson was drafted the year prior at the same 6th overall spot and spent last season (the equivalent to Jiricek's THIS season) in the AHL with just 16 NHL appearances - and nobody was freaking out over him "taking too long" to develop. And fast-forward to this year - and he looks like an absolute unit in the NHL.

I'm not saying that guarantees anything for Jiricek but it seems a pretty timely reminder that you DO NOT liquidate big, 20 year-old blueliners with his tools.

I agree, and so do plenty of other HFCBJ folks, but we're not exactly a unified front on this one.

There's some folks who are unshakably convinced bridges were burnt last year and will hear no arguments to the contrary.

Pronger ? Yeah I don’t think he’s got that ceiling

That's the type of deal that probably doesn't make sense for the CBJ. Need a similar prospect back.

Pronger ? Yeah I don’t think he’s got that ceiling

when the Blues traded Shanahan for him he was 19 and sucked. the point is you're taking a more established rugged scoring forward and sending him off for a recent draft top 5 defenseman who does not look like one yet. if Jiricek's potential ceiling isn't strong 1D with a big risk involved then the Blues in no way should trade Neighbours for him

 

[Baksfamous112]

Joshua Roy?

 

[Stealth JD]

I’d do Neighbors for Jiricek, from the STL side, sure. Even if Jake is a very unique breed of power forward STL doesn’t have a replacement for at the moment.

 

[Jargon]

I hope Grier is looking at this aggressively. Would gladly trade Musty ++ for him.

 

[KevinRedkey]

A skilled forward prospect with uncertain path forward could be the 1 for 1

Tyler Boucher?

Oh wait.. you said skilled. Nevermind.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Tyler Boucher?

Oh wait.. you said skilled. Nevermind.

Bobby Boucher.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

Frost/Zamula/ Oilers or Avs 2025 1st

 

[BleedBlue14]

Bobby Boucher.

Gotta give it to him, he's got a mean slap shot

 

[rt]

Mathias Maccelli and a ‘26 2nd.

And there are others of us who believe he has a bright future, would like to keep him, but would at least be willing to listen on offers if a strong piece is coming back in the return. I don't believe anything has been damaged beyond repair, especially with a new GM and new coach in charge.
