NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

maybe Jiricek blocked a Flyers trade..

i have no idea if he has that clause or not tbh.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Trade was a little bigger with some conditions though Wild condition on 1st is far from likely. Would require a complete collapse of Wild to even be possibility

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Don't worry, the Flyers will trade one of their firsts for a snot and balls veteran who plays the game the right way and use the other two to draft the next Laughton and Seeler.

He's still on his ELC, he basically has no say in where he can and can't go.

Far more likely we use them to draft the next Rubtsov, and Ginning.

 

[freakydallas13]

Lol Briere asleep at the wheel.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Briere sucks

He probably thought he was the size of Drysdale and said we didn't need him.

 

[Magua]

Jiricek would take minutes from Drysdale. And at some point, it gets tough to go with the smaller guy (< 6’5).

 

[DancingPanther]

To compare, Cutter Gauthier got us a 2nd and Drysdale, because the brass needed an "NHL ready player" to "help them compete now" because they are delusional in thinking they're competing for anything other than a lotto pick

2027 2nd and 4th is something.

Danny Briere sucks at his job.

That's the draft Briere has his eyes on. Can't be trading picks in that draft. Danny has it on lock

 

[DancingPanther]

I've never seen a team let so many low hanging fruits rot. This front office has compost for brains

 

[CanadianSniper]

What would you rather have?

Package 1 : Buium, Jiricek, MIN 2025 5th.
Package 2 : Luchanko, MIN 2025 3rd, 1st round pick (COL or EDM), PHI 2026 3rd, PHI 2026 4th

We really could have set up our defense for the next decade.

ELCs don't have NTC/NCM

Either Columbus straight up preferred this offer, or Briere didn't want to give up the equivalent

We'll probably never know the reason

 

[Sombastate]

Danny is just a flat out terrible GM. its as simple as that. He sucks at everything. There's nothing he does well.

 

[kudymen]

Good. That's Jiříček far away enough from Tortorella. Thank you universe

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Trade a 1st rounder (protected) for a struggling, but possibly redeemable prospect with pedigree? Do you even know what 1st round picks are worth???

Accept a 1st round pick for an aging career 3rd liner? Do you even know what Scott Laughton is worth???

 

[deadhead]

Danny Briere sucks at his job.

HUh?

To #mnwild: David Jiricek, 5th Rd Pick
To #CBJ: Damon Hunt, 2025 1st Rd Pick, 2026 3rd (Col), 2027 2nd Rd Pick, 4th Rd Pick
Hunt is a 3rd pair ceiling D-man.

Question is whether Jiricek is damaged goods.

He's a November B-day, so old for his draft class, two years in the AHL at 19 and 20, but has struggled at the NHL level. He should end up top 4, but now more likely to be a 2nd pair guy. Shades of Risto, big, can skate but the whole may be less than the sum of the parts.

Note, Minnesota is sending him to the AHL, at 21, in his 3rd pro season, he's not considered NHL ready.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Risto is the new The Boss Baby.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Looks like they’re already leaking to the media that Columbus was asking for their top prospects.

 

[GKJ]

I’m not the biggest Jiricek guy but that’s a beatable deal if you have three firsts and like the player in the slightest.

Zeev and now Jiricek.

When the draft came up, I recall the Flyers being concerned about his injuries.

Or maybe they see someone being outspoken about their situation and it getting made public as not being a culture fit.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Our little useful idiot.

 

[Sombastate]

Already announced he'll be with the big club in a few days they just want him to get acclimated quickly with the organization and he'll be up with the big team. So try to polish the organization with a different buffer

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Our little useful idiot.

I would like to know who is included in that 2-3 besides Luchanko because I think it might be hilariously wrong.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

What I want to know is who they asked for from Briere, if they settled on Hunt? I had no idea who he was. Looked him up. Still don't know. They asked Briere for a top prospect, but settled on that one guy? This is scary any way you slice it

 

[Cody Webster]

Our little useful idiot.

Where did Hunt fall in the Wilds prospect pool?

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Michkov has time channel his inner Raffl here.
