LHD and late 20s pick
Complete garbage return if you ask me
What 2025 pick? Minnesota is top 3 in the league right now
To sum it up:
We draft PLD at 3 and end up with Jordan Harris
We draft Jiricek at 6 and end up with Daemon Hunt and magic beans which is late 1st round pick

I was of the opinion that we weren't going to settle on a lesser package for him but things must have been that irreparable and/or the new regime just didn't think he was that good

Google scouting report on Daemon Hunt and the first thing that comes up is his skating ability.
We know what DW loves that Jiricek didn't have.

Oh, well, that's cool. Go out to see friends for the afternoon for the first time in a couple years, watch the game together and survive it, spend a little more time together then get home just in time to see this. That's just great.
I would rather keep Jiricek and hope we can fix his current issues than simply give him away

This return tells me there was major interest in getting Jiricek out of the Jackets system. We basically traded a #6 pick for a mid-late 20s pick with a few accessories thrown in.
Im an idiot and got Minnesota confused with someone else.
Still, I think Jiricek has shown so little since being drafted that I think getting this package is lucky for the Jackets. I'm not convinced David will become anything noteworthy in the NHL.

And let's just say that some assets near the trade deadline also fetch a 1st rounder (like Provorov)
DW building assets to build his team. potential for 3 1st round picks that could be packaged into something or be used to find the right guys that were weren't finding before.

If they acquire another 1st round pick at the TDL, I am willing to bet anyone neither the player drafted with the MIN 1st nor the player drafted with the TDL acquired 1st amount to any NHL player.
Werenski.

It won't happen, because Waddell has made it abundantly, overwhelmingly clear that he does not have the slightest f***ing clue how to do trades. He just traded a #6 overall blueliner for two late picks and another Jordan Harris.

still cranky from the OSU game?
Hunt fits the system we are trying to build. Laine was addition by subtraction no matter how Harris turns out.
I see the roster he built in Carolina and I'm not being short sighted about this. Jiricek would never fit in the Carolina system because of his skating ability and he wasn't going to be a fit here. Let's start finding players who do.

Waddell is smart to put this stinker out there hours after OSU suffered the most devastating loss in university history. Most of the city won’t even have enough anger left and it’ll be forgotten quickly. Genius really
Jiricek won’t make it until he can improve his skating. Who knows if that will ever happen- it hasn’t yet… IMO this isn’t great but is enough quantity to offset the meh-ness of it. I’d guess that we’ll have at least 3 first rounders this year, and guessing we’ll see a trade involving those for another solid current player.

What a coincidence, neither does Jiricek at the moment.
The return is pretty shit.
Honestly not sure what you could do with a player who 100% believed he was NHL ready when he clearly wasn't. I also think he wanted out.
Now I get to watch him struggle in the NHL with the Wild.
Good riddance

You do realize we just traded a 6th overall pick, a rare to find RHD blue chip prospect for a package you typically see for a good TDL rental ?
