“Can tell you it’s not the Canucks” (in response to r/canucks rumor)
[Since we’ve been talking, further update… the Blue Jackets are still going through the evaluation process. I think they’ve got 5 to 6 credible offers on the table that they’re working through. Should happen in the next 24 to 48 hours.](https://x.com/sportsnet650/status/1861205015593140506?s=46)
Can’t wait for this to be over.
I really don’t want this to be true but it is starting to feel inevitable. Hopefully whatever we get in return is worth it
“He does not want a trade. He went to the AHL with no complaints”
“Hey Walsh, if your client plays nice, and doesn’t do anything to depreciate his value, we will get him out of here. If not, he’s staying in the AHL and we will jerk him around until he’s a UFA”
When there’s smoke there’s fire I guess?
Organization fucked this one up badly. I know people think Jiricek has an attitude but I don’t think the team handled any part of this well. Have a tough time thinking we get equal value back, but we will see.
Direct consequences of hiring shitty, inexperienced coaches that don’t know how to fucking develop players.
I’m honestly ok with this provided they get a decent return. He’s 20 with plenty of room to grow, but I just don’t see him becoming even an average skater in the NHL.
This better be worth it. He’s a former 6th overall pick we are moving after just two years. We already need a RHD. This is a big risk but I have faith in Don.
Personally I think it’s maybe better for both parties that a move is made, but at the same time I’d love to see this organization succeed at anything ever, for once. I’m running out of “it is what it is”es, fellas.
Alright boys get the popcorn
Friedman mentioned Nashville multiple times today
Luke Evangelista is scratched tonight and their fans are wondering why the fuck
Really sad it’s gone this way but definitely ready for it to be over
yeah right lol i’ll believe it when it’s not Seravalli
For all the scouts that are quietly lurking here…
Jiricek is freaking phenomenal, fantastic skating and elite puck handling, 1.5 pt/game player. Lockdown defender with a lethal shot. Return is at least the 2025 and 2026 1st’s plus a top prospect.
Hoping Waddell gets a good return
I trust Waddell. That dude had Hamilton, Pesce, Slavvin, Sjkei, Ghostbear and Burns on the same team. He knows how to evaluate D
Bro needs to get a grip
>Cry all you want, but if you actually think Jiricek isn’t good, your brain is literally dead.
> Anything not working from a player in Columbus will never be because of the player, but because of the team.
Sounds like there is 5 teams involved, that’s a bidding war. He’s not going to go for scraps at this point for all those worried.
We’re going to regret this
If it happens, at least it will be over.
Curious if they saw something that caused them to lose faith or if the past administration screwed up that badly. Dude on r/hockey still claiming it’s going to be Vancouver.
Pity losing a high-pick big-bodied defenseman. Not a lot of size at the moment here.
Wall St is full of people riding unbelievable lucky streaks.
Being right a few times is often not a predictor of future success
If he goes to Edmonton, he will be out of the league in 3 years. they will throw him to the wolves, he won’t develop and will crash and burn.
Bit of a head scratcher to be giving up on an early 1st defenseman that’s not even 21. They better get this right, especially if Lindstrom continues to be damaged goods. Those are 2 situations you CANT miss on and expect to turn things around.
It’s wild how low some of y’all are on Jirecek. He’s incredibly young still. Same frustrations could have been said about Johnson last year, look at him now. These young players take time. Unless the return is huge, I wouldn’t trade him unless for another year at least. He has great vision, a great first pass. He needs confidence and some more strength, which will help mask any skating issues. Patience.
