I do not see why we'd trade for Jiricek. Like at all. Do we need a RHD? Yes, RIGHT NOW. We do not need a guy that might take another year or two before he becomes an NHL regular. We've got Komarov and Strbak and McCarthy who are on similar timelines to Jiricek (maybe a year behind) and Kleber coming about a year or two behind them. And if Adams would do the right thing and sign Metsa....he's a guy that could theoretically be a 6/7 guy for us next year.
Our future at RHD is pretty bright, especially as it regards defensively-responsible/physical guys.
We need a top 4 RHD right now. Like yesterday. Or the day before. Jiricek doesn't move that needle at all.....
