RD David Jiricek (2022, 6th, CBJ)

Yeah, that's the disturbing part.

What if… instead… hear me out… all of this is overblown speculation?

 

[1909]

Don't think the Kraken have anyone of interest for the Jackets but we have a need for some high-end prospects on D and I would also like to have Sale get another Czech teammate.

How about Wright for Jiricek ? Or Firkus ?

 

[Viqsi]

Yeah, that's the disturbing part.

I see now that the allure of narrative has utterly overpowered any hope of reason.

Pick him up in your pool now, kids. His value will never be lower.

Why? Is he expected to be a point producer? Thought he was projected more as a 2 way guy

Vysvobození se blíží. Trápení už bylo dost, Jiříček je na odchodu z Columbusu - iDNES.cz

David Jiříček se snad konečně dočká. Hokejový obránce má už brzy opustit trudnou misi v týmu Columbus Blue Jackets a v dalších dnech odejít do jiného klubu v NHL. Stojí o něj hned několik zájemců včetně adeptů na Stanley Cup. „Je to blízko!“ ubezpečuje zavedený zámořský web Sportsnet.

Hmm so will it actually happen? It's a Czech article, but the title says he should be leaving Columbus soon

I mean I think he tops out as a 30-40 point guy. I traded him in my dynasty league a month ago and got But and Connelly for him and a draft pick.

The reality is that I have no clue about how things will pan out, of course. But my personal view of Jiricek is definitely as a No. 1 offensive and defensive stalwart. Yeah he'll take a few years to get there on the defensive side (he's erratic defensively, tends to fall down). But his offensive numbers in the AHL as an 18/19 year old are virtually unheard of. If you watch him when he's on, he's got all sorts of offensive moxy. My personal opinion is that defense prospects like Jiricek .... you just don't trade.

"2 way" implies offense

Fanbases almost always overvalue their players. I remember telling CBJ fans they were expecting way too much for Laine. I was right about that one.

I think the broken overpaid lazy winger and the 20 year old top prospect will be SLIGHTLY different situations. SLIGHTLY.

I understand that but the post I was referring to was speaking on him as a fantasy producer ( get him now while his value is lowest ) ; which is mostly offensive centric

Right reality vs fantasy value is vastly different though .
