Yeah I’m pretty sure he’s talking about sending him to Cleveland.

I hope so. He has to realize he's not ready for the NHL. I just hope he's a pro about it.

Imagine being 20 and your GM talking like this about you publicly? Waddel is probably right in his assessment but that's a behind closed doors talk IMO.

I don't find any of that out of line. He's not saying he stinks. He's just not ready.

It probably has been numerous times. Jiricek and his agent have not helped this situation over the last year

He isn't going to develop by not playing, he should be getting big MPG down in Cleveland like 3 weeks ago.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Micheal Hage + Justin Barron

Forget it. Hage will not be traded.

Crazy, Waddell is high af

 

[HuGort]

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!

Didn't you trade your first already?

He's being held back by his poor skating and lack of strength. Those are absolutely things you can improve without playing in games.

Sure I guess so but he is a hockey player and playing hockey is kind of paramount here as he had the summer to work on those 2 items.

That's true but it was apparent during training camp that he did not work on those things over the summer like he was supposed to. So now he sits and works on them.

 

[VictoriaJetsFan]

When I heard Allan Walsh was his agent, I figure that is 60 % of the issue right there.

He should be playing big all situation MPG in Cleveland if he wants to advance and develop as a hockey player.

Maybe you can write a strongly worded letter to Waddell and let him know that

 

[Crede777]

He should be playing big all situation MPG in Cleveland if he wants to advance and develop as a hockey player.

He has done exactly that in the past 2 seasons and yet hasn't really advanced.

The player and his agent have a history of going public, so Waddell is simply firing back in a language they will understand.

 

[jumb0]

Send him to Nashville and we can pretend we traded Fabbro instead of giving him away

That's not a good thing.lol

Can't understand why you're so staunchly defending him....

Feels like we have Laine again.

I'm pointing out the gm is out of line.

Regardless... Writing off a top 5 pick who is 20 and a rhd is plain silly

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's got size, a high pick and RHD. Unless he really shits the bed he'll have a job for the next 10 years.

I think Provorov is a more likely candidate for that than Jiricek. "Fabbro and a 1st for Provorov".

 

[dj Mahoney]

After watching him at the draft I got really bad vibes from who was surrounding him . Just a gut feeling , I didnt want his brother after seeing this scene.
