Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

The problem is, we know Torts would just push to send Jiricek down to the AHL if they did trade for him.

Jiricek could use a full season in the AHL, no spotlight, no pressure, just work on his game.

can jiricek block ? cuz if he can he will..

he wont want any part of going to Flyers..

 

[FlyerNutter]

Askarov would have been a great gamble, but they blew that one.

Jiricek for a team that won’t have enough high end draft picks, is a no brainer imo anyway. That’s a gamble you take.

These idiots won’t do it. They would be smart as hell to eject from Drysdale if possible.

I gotta be honest Jiricek scares me a little bit after reading the Jackets fans online

That was me, and to be fair, if someone overrates one prospect that doesn't mean other people aren't regularly overrating other prospects. How many of our guys that we had high hopes for fizzled over the years? All of them. While there are certainly fingers to be pointed within the organization whether it is coaching at the NHL level, development or scouting at other levels, etc., there are also fingers to be pointed at the players themselves for simply not being as good as we thought they were (i.e., overrated).

Saying Luchanko and Michkov is in the cards for next season doesn't sound like to me that he's saying Luchanko is a superstar, he's saying it's a possiblity and given Luchanko's purported 2-way game he would make the perfect match for Michkov, a guy that is not a 2-way player. And even if he is saying Luchanko is going to win the Calder next year and be a HOFer...that doesn't mean that this board doesn't regularly overrate garbage prospects. If you look back I am sure you will see countless posts in trade threads about how much our shitty prospects are worth and how little other team's prospects are worth or people penciling in guys to roles they'll never make.

Are the Flyers bad at drafting, developing or both?

Because they have been drafting at the top half of the draft for thr majority of the last 15 years and the results according to you have been bad.

So which is it?

Not having an opinion seems like an opinion in itself

 

[Sombastate]

If there's a way to get Jiricek for a reasonable price, you do it. It was just a year ago we were talking about him being one of the, if not the, best defensive prospects in the league.

Don't see how he's a worse risk than "full speed ahead" is

 

[Larry44]

What do you think it would take to get him? Foerster +?

Tippett! But they will trade Frost and Brink...

Don't make me fly out there! LOL!

I’d offer Drysdale. No more than that. Jiricek has already had knee surgery which may have been affecting his play.
