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

I wouldn't bet on this. Quite some interesting RD in the next draft, plus him showing nothing means we could move sideways and get someone less injury prone.
He doesn't have any pluses either. The GM can always change his mind and target some other RD.

Is it a question of IQ or development?
The posts here about his difficulty in processing the game, raise doubts. The quoted article seems to point to similar concerns in breaking down a sequence:
« Jiricek needed to be more assertive at the outset of this play and more aggressive identifying how the play was developing in his zone. He essentially checked nobody in this sequence. »
And another:
« The following sequence speaks volumes about the current state of Jiricek’s game and why the Jackets' coaching staff has little trust in his defensive awareness at the NHL level right now.
Instead of keeping things simple and the play in front of him, Jiricek runs out of place to chase the play into the neutral zone. He’s entirely out of position as the puck ends up in the back of the Blue Jackets net. »
Maybe the Habs can hedge their risk with whatever intel they can gather from Pascal Vincent. However, since many teams would be bidding, I’m expecting the price to be prohibitive and am not sure Hughes is prepared to pay it, unless it involves dealing redundant assets.
My impression was more that he had a coachability issue.
For example, Mailloux clearly has a big ? over his IQ, but he seems to be coachable.

no matter what people think of dach, I just dont see any reason to trade him for zegras
i think height is very relevant when it comes to this team for sure.

Oh I don't think we should trade him for Zegras at all , im actually against it but im just saying he has not have been physical at all for us.
Height doesn't equal physical players. Habs have several pretty tall players who aren't particularly physical.
I would except that it would give the Habs 2 6 foot centres on the scoring lines.
What do you mean interesting RDs?
The soonest I see right now are in the 2nd half of the first round (and only 3 or 4 of them).
That is a poor top RD year without hindsight definitely under the last few years.
There are no Reinbacher level RD in this draft without hindsight.

There's 6'6" Mrtka
Glancing quickly at the lists: Hensley and Fiddler also. I really could not care less about Reinbacher's pedigree. If he's spending the majority of his development time in the IR, I could see a quick move to patch up what we're lacking and another dice cast with this draft.
Barron struggles from a lack of execution more than anything else.
Either by not making the simple play or by not winning more puck battles using his frame to relieve pressure...
The same switch Arber Xhekaj managed to turn on to move his game forward again.
