Value of: David Jiricek

[Rebel247]

CLB: Drysdale + 3rd
PHL: Jirichek
Or
CLB: Grans + worse of Flyers 3 1st rd picks
PHL: Jirichek

CLB replaces Jirichek with a young RHD that also has a high ceiling plus a pick.
Flyers get a young RHD with different physical tools (6’3” vs 5’11”) than their 3 best d prospects (York, Drysdale, Andrae ).

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.

Who said that?

The opinions of Drysdale I'm seeing on HFFlyers has me thinking I don't want to be anywhere near there.

drysdale needs more time to develop and learn to he game . Seems similar to Jiricek situation but I get your point

the jiricek situation isn't just a "he needs more time to develop" thing – it's a "the blue jackets don't want to develop defensemen in the NHL" thing. which would rule out a drysdale swap. they also have a deep prospect pool and are trending toward having another high draft pick.

the framework for a jiricek deal is not "struggling young player swap" or "lesser prospect + spare parts" – it's "jiricek to a team that needs RHD for a quality young player" or "jiricek in a package for a star"

for the flyers, that means jiricek+ for konecny
