HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #88: 2024-25 Season

[Goalfield13]

No, they wouldn't.. you need to offer a similar high pick prospect back (Dach) to be considered fair.. they are not going to give him away for chopped liver.

Yeah, there are going to be other teams that see big RD and throw their wallet at CBJ. Look at how these guys jump up during draft day. They are unicorns. CBJ is making a big mistake, but the player has reportedly been unhappy (I don't blame him). Even if it doesn't pan out, we need to take this risk.

I don't think it will take a blue-chip prospect nor would I consider Wright a blue-chip prospect at this point either. It will take some nice assets, though, which we have plenty.

Would you trade Wright for Dach straight up?

no

Not a chance.

 

[themilosh]

no

I would.. but thats just me. I think Wright is just catching up on his lost junior year. He reminds me of a young RNH.. a solid 2c nhler.

Drafting Misa will be the smartest move - either he becomes a 2C or can be placed on the LW. Either way a tooly top 6.

Jiricek would make the most sense if we can switch him with a few young Dmen, so we can actually play the guy. Would the Jackets take Barron and Struble for him ?

Barron would make the most sense since both players are sitting in the stands and play RD.

But Hughes can ask Vincent about Jiricek. Having the player's coach from last season on staff is very valuable here.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't know enough about Jiricek's game. Anyone willing to describe it?

All I know about him is he's a big body RD who was taken 6th OA. And even though we have Reinbacher and Mailloux (and Barron), we can still use a RD, especially with Savard most likely traded sooner or later.

It's not a question of Reinbacher panning out or not. I'm asking if anyone can describe Jiricek's game.

Here's a recent article with clips that describe Jiricek's game.

Jiricek’s perceived lack of pace is why CBJ apparently wants him to develop slowly in AHL

I always thought his game was comparable to Barron's (I honestly preferred Barron in his D+3 season), but I don't feel that strongly in that take to argue it very hard.

There's a Sportsnet Article from a former Amateur scout that offers an opinion with deeper analysis:

Scout's Analysis: Looking at Blue Jackets trade candidate David Jiricek

For the second season in a row, it's unclear where David Jiricek fits into Columbus' plans. Scout Jason Bukala examines how the sixth overall pick from the 2022 draft has been playing and how he might proceed with the player.

[Pompeius Magnus]

Jiricek is definitely as much of a project at this point as Mailloux is, people do need to keep that in mind. The tools are there but the toolbox is still a bit suspect. I like him enough to take a chance, but he needs a lot of work.

 

[sampollock]

ya I get that, but we don't know if Reinbacher can play nhl either.
this way you have 2 guys to hope for

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

So both Barron and Jiricek's questionable area is hockey IQ.

ya I get that, but we don't know if Reinbacher can play nhl either.

Rienbacher has IQ and can defend. To be determined os offensive ability and fragility.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Jiricek would make the most sense if we can switch him with a few young Dmen, so we can actually play the guy. Would the Jackets take Barron and Struble for him ?

That's like 2 3rd rounders, maybe a 2nd and a 3rd rounder for Jiricek.

Barron/Struble might be involved, but they're a minor piece.

 

[DiglettDangles]

Why would Columbus let go of Jiricek for anything less than what we'd expect for Reinbacher?
It's downright questionable to think garbage like Barron, Struble, etc. is anywhere close.
You think they'd play Barron if they'd rather sit Jiricek? Barron!?
Come on guys, do better.

I don't think we even enter the discussion with assets below Newhook or CGY 1st++ in value.

 

[therocket9]

Would you trade Wright for Dach straight up?

No but i would trade Dach straight up for Mavrik Bourque who is getting just 9-10 minutes on 4th line in Dallas.

 

[rahad]

Yeah that one I really don’t get either tbh

Dante Fabbro has 3pts in 4gp and his contract end this year. I just don't understand why we did not claim him lol. We needed RHD veteran at defense. We would have been the perfect for us.

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I would, yes.

Coveted right shot, lot of potential, still very raw and young. You'd be insulating yourself against Mailloux busting with this move. I can't think of a single RD in this upcoming draft that I'd take over Jiricek. Hensler would be closest and the offensive difference is a chasm.

I’d love to get Charlie Trethewey, as I feel like he will be a very solid all around NHL player. Checks all the boxes to me - elite puck moving skills, good size, solid skater, great vision, terrific shot, physical, solid in all zones.

He’s similar to a right hand shot version of Guhle, and I think would be the perfect complement for Hutson down the road.

I’m a fan of Jiricek so I can understand what you’re saying, but I’d rather keep my assets and draft Trethewey for free.

No. Dach will re-gain his shape soon…and Habs have enough under 6 ft players.
