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

Just in case any of you have been on the fence about getting it due to cost...

Can confirm, was on the fence due to cost, and between this sale and my intention to drop the Athletic, I hopped on board. $43.91 for a year of sports journalism and a t-shirt; pretty good deal.

If the Flyers had traded for Jiricek, I'm sure I'd be reading 20 pages of posts declaring that they overpaid, that Jiricek was overdrafted and really not that good . . .

Jiricek is certainly not worth a #5, anymore than Drysdale was worth a #6.
Jiricek just turned 21 and is in the AHL. That's not the profile of an elite prospect.
Doesn't mean he won't turn out to be a good D-man, but we're not talking a murder's row here:
Werenski
Provorov
Severson
Christiansen
Fabbro (waived by Tenn)
Jordan Harris
Jack Johnson (38)

Even Minnesota ain't rolling out an allstar team on defense:
Middleton
Faber
Chisholm
Spurgeon (34)
Merrill (32)
Bogosian (34)
Brodin (31)

Yet both teams sent him to the AHL.

I thought a longer stint in the AHL has never hurt anyone

I've got over 500 users on ignore and it's made hf so much more tolerable.

How the hell did I survive?
