Sounds like a logical position.
I don't know what is happening, I would rather someone just explain to me in a straightforward way. No comments, just factual statements.

Hopefully we finally see Jiricek play.
Does anyone else hope that Marcel Marcel and Ivan Ivan play on the same team one day?
is there anyone out there to complete the line?
Just need an Ivan Marcel or Marcel Ivan to center them

I hope he doesn't play, so he slides to wherever NJ will pick. Having a pairing of Luke Hughes and David Jiricek would be absolutely amazing.

As long as my fav team, the Oil, don't draft him I'll be happy.lol We destroy D prospects or trade them for pennies on the dollar. Czechs need an elite D more than the Oil!lol

Jiricek, according to media, is healed and will be at next weeks prepatory matches. No idea if he's playing or just practicing as Czechs have a few games against Germany. But back on the ice! (note: the last time they announced this, it didn't happen.lol)

Demidov is a HAB
I’ve generally seen Nemec listed as the first D off the board. Can you give your thoughts on the 2? Why do you have Jiricek ranked higher? I haven’t seen either so please don’t take this as challenging your statement. I’m just interested in hearing all view points.

It's really just a personal choice of upside vs. floor.
Nemec has the higher floor but a lower ceiling while Jiricek has a lower floor and a higher ceiling.
You just don't find a lot of right handed D with Jiricek's size, skating ability, and attack mindset, on top of being a physical presence on the defensive end.
Nemec has come on lately with production which is nice, he's a smart player, defends well with skating and gap control. Creates by thinking well, just I think there's limitations offensively with not a natural goal scoring instinct and not being as attack oriented in terms of putting pressure on the defense with carrying the puck, skating it around and looking for a breakdown.

Just don't want to remind what happened…I love this boy, it's a tough year for him, injury, on the WC camp list then announced he has "healthy issue". I wish he didn't have to deal with this, but now that it's happened, I wish him all the best for the future. I'm sorry if these emotional words have caused misunderstanding. I'm happy to see him again, but it's sad to think about the fluke he's been through these last months. Jiricek deserves better.

I know it's not a popular opinion but if it weren't for the knee injury I'd have Jiricek as the second best prospect in the draft with the ability of overtake Wright. I'd still draft him top 5 even with the lost development time.
Agreed. I feel like there's no way a defenseman like this should be taken past 2 or 3. Boggles my mind that might happen because of injury.
