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

[Larry44]

So you’re saying Jiricek is the second coming of Risto?

Or Helge Grans? LOL!

Grab Jiricek, then the Flyers should leave Drysdale on LTIR, buy him out after the season is done (very low cap hit for 2 years). Have Jiricek QB PP1.

On the CLB they’re concerned but would be open to a Drysdale+ for Jiricek.

I’d give them back their 2nd and Drysdale. Just make it a Gauthier for Jiricek swap, indirectly.

I’d then use Farabee and/or Brink to go after Rossi.

Then propose Tippett for Norris. Would rather carry Norris on LTIR for 5 years than deal with Tippett for 8.

I'd absolutely love Rossi, but I still think Minn may have a hard time trading him as their top 2 centers right now are Rossi and Eriksson Ek, with no one really in the pipeline to fill that void.

If we find a way to get Norris, Rossi and Jiricek, i'd take every bad thing i said about Briere,

Not because i'm positive this would achieve desirable results, but it would at least feel like a team that isn't happy with the quicksand at our hips.

Seravalli mentioned Flyers in on Jiricek. Also wondered about Ottawa and Flyers, but said Flyers not interested in Norris with contract and injury history

 

[FlyerNutter]

Please no to Norris.

I get the excitement to a point, but they don’t need another Humpty Dumpty.

Chris Johnston on TSN said Columbus may look at a pic package for Jiricek.

Dude is skilled, but yeah, he's one run into the boards away from being done.

Flyers have lots of picks thankfully.

 

[Magua]

Have Jiricek QB PP1

That would be so Flyers.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Regardless if they should trade for Jiricek or not. I’m gonna guess given the way generally operate they won’t do it. I’m sure they’ll cite the log jam while not having the wherewithal that they put themselves in that position to begin with.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I feel like we need to have the depreciated asset discussion again.

The problem is not acquiring a Drysdale or a Ristolainen or potentially a Jiricek even if they fail. Failure is going to happen. It's the price the market sets for them. With precious few exceptions, you really only want the rehab projects that come cheaply. Not cheap for a premium asset. Dirt cheap.

This is why I feel it's likely I strongly prefer making the Tomasino trade to one for Jiricek for example.
