RD David Jiricek (2022, 6th, CBJ; traded to MIN)

[WingsMike]

He looks amazing out there, like a future #1D in the NHL.

I had been pronouncing his name "yur-uh-chek", but this sounds more like "yee-zee-chek", is that right?

If you're not a native speaker you likely wont ever get the ř sound, so just treat it like a normal r and you'll be fine. It's def not a z.

Okay. But saying "yee-ree-chek" is actually harder.

21:55 TOI tonight, great breakout pass leads to an equaliser.

Jiricek ranked 4th by Pronman. Funny enough I had Jiricek going 4th in a mock I did last week.

 

[Goldenhands]

This guy is like evil twin of Shea Weber.

Looks alot like Seider, but possibly even better offensive tools..

[Voodoozz]

That's an elite NHL level blue line wrist shot, both the velocity and the placement, just look at that flex. You don't see that very often with young defensemen.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Im leaning towards preferring him to a center tbh.

 

[Gillings]

He looks good in open ice and shows a creative offensive skating stride.

He is big and will need to learn how to become powerful in smaller strides.

 

[Voodoozz]

Daring move on the blue line leads to an offensive chance in the slot. Wasn't on the ice for the 3rd period, probably a minor health issue.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

this is whole sequence, he is silky smooth and is not afraid of anything, very fancy player

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Could he potentially compliment Chabot? Like could Jiricek be the Methot to Chabot's Karlsson? Or would he be a better partner for Sanderson?

From a stylistic comparison.

You should be drafting him to be a great player in his own right. But look at the Sens RD depth chart. After Zub, who isn't signed long term, there's nobody who can play next to either Chabot or Sanderson. Obviously Jiricek would have a job there, not as a pure complement but as the total package.

Obviously but the sens have a hole at 1C and our defense. After Zub our right side sucks badly. I'd say he's my top D-men this year at least for now.

Dinosaur coaches are going to love him.

You are building your team from backend, allways. Good D´s are by far hardest to come by.

 

[Martinez]

It’s weird people question his puck skills

 

[Captain97]

I would love for the Habs to draft this kid, a Guhle - Jiricek pairing could be great.

Ballsy

 

[golffuul]

He reminds me a lot of Rasmus Dahlin, in terms of his skating and puck-moving.

WTF? People were questioning his puck skills?!

 

[dryz]

Pesan, HC of the Czech national team, said that he will play all three matches at the upcoming Karjala Cup. They want to test him thoroughly including PP and PK.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Very impressive player. Puck moving really advanced for his age, puts it on the tape of the forward nearly every time. D who can control the pace as well as he can are rare.

Should be the first defenseman off the board next summer imo.
