Put a poll up:laugh:

First of all, Jiricek would never be available if it wasn't for a rocky start with Columbus and supposedly clashing with coaching/managment. You know, that organization that's doing so well these last decades.

That's kind of the point of buying low on him, his potential outcome massively outweighs Mailloux's.
For some reason, Mailloux doing well in the AHL but not good enough for the NHL>>>Jiricek having nothing else to prove in the AHL and being bad in the NHL

Thinking that an hfboard poll would determine anything is funny.

"Jiricek is only available because he's been bad and hasn't developed as expected"
No shit

Right. Columbus, the beacon for coaching and prospect development in the NHL lol.

I mean Mailloux has yet to show he can properly defend at the AHL level. I repeat, AHL level.
What are we even talking here.

Not to mention, he's never been known for his defensive game going back to before juniors. Whereas Jiricek made a name for himself for dominating at both ends. And yes, at the AHL level.

Which is +$11.4m. But, the total amount of contracts ending for Montreal is $15.853m and we get another $4.3m removed in retained salary (Petry & Allen end this summer). That's a total additional space of $8.8m. Add another $4m for the projected cap. That's $12.8m in space.

The only players that need signing are Heineman & Struble. That's it. Maybe Evans if we want to re-sign him. We also have one more year of Price on LTIR.

We can easily sign or take on a $6m-$8m contract on D.
We also 6 million under this season

I don't even know where you're up coming up with this rethoric that Columbus is bad at developing. They have been good at it.
Seth Jones, Werenski, Dubois, Marchenko, Chinakhov, Josh Anderson, Bjorkstrand, etc. have all developed well with Columbus.

Players wanting to leave Columbus because they don't like the city has nothing to do with the Jackets ability to develop players.

Meanwhile Jiricek is so good defensively that he's unable to crack a weak Columbus d-corps? Jordan Harris is being played over Jiricek. Fabbro, who was on waivers just a few days ago, is in the lineup over Jiricek. That says a lot about where Jiricek's game is at right now.

^No offense, but thinking Mailloux could become Brent Burns explains alot now.

Thanks but I'll stick with the player who dominated at both ends against men at 17 and in the AHL.
